I bought a TCS diesel decoder as I assumed there was no decoder in the engine since it ran on DC when I tested it: WRONG.
It already has a Digitrax DH163. No sound.
The frame is all cast metal and is heavy.

Just noticed that the white lights are on in 'forward' and...

Departing Tye:
Engine hesitates for a 'second' as there is no 'keep alive' and I didn't have the back two cars connected 'correctly' so no additional electrical 'pickup'.
'Top speed' on this train is really fast!
