Forgive me for I have sinned: twice!

Not only did I buy my first diesel, it's plastic!  The brass version is 3 grand so that was a good persuader!  

I saw a MR video review of the UP 8500 HP turbine so I decided to get one.

Definitely comes well packed:

Comes with a nice booklet with exploded views, maintenance, etc. : even instructions on how to open the plastic holders, which I needed to read!

There is a plastic sleeve, plus the clam shell inner plastic case holds each piece so there is absolutely no movement in transit.

There is a lot of detail on this 3 unit set.  Two units are powered (dummy tender) so plenty of pulling power.  Lots of doors open, plenty of connecting hoses/cables, see through walk boards, etc.

The turbine noise is loud, as was the prototype.
