Oh Boy Oh boy Oh Boy....
As Brad Pitt once said... “What’s in the box?”
The answer is an early Christmas train..literally
The main point of this purchase was to continue my foolish quest of acquiring one of every mth made 2816 ever manufactured. A few of those are only available in sets, including this one.
The engine needs a little tlc, but overall is gorgeous. It does have some interesting idiosyncrasies. It is labeled as a 263e, but comes up programmed as a 260e. I only have a ps3 version for comparison, but this ps2 version has skinny traction tires that I wasn’t expecting at all.
It has a pretty neat set of sounds. In fact the jolly old elf in a red suit himself makes an audible appearance.
I haven’t checked out box car yet, and the caboose is very nice, although the wiring is a mess, which I knew before I purchased. It also came with the power supply and the tracks. Overall very happy with this purchase from a fellow forum member.
That’s an awesome set! It’s a 263e because it has the 12 wheel tender. The engine looks like my 260e, which is an awesome puller. Your engine sounds are cool.
