A close friend (fellow O Gauger) gave this to me for Xmas 2020. I didn’t get back on the GR until this spring. I’m almost ready to finally service and run it. I’ve been holding off because of a few reasons but now am quite close to where I want to be. I’ve never unboxed it. 🤤
They do make a nice engine (I have a few) the only issue you will have is the track must be clean. Since they do not use the LGB style pickup shoe track conditions are very important.
