Do you mean a 2-8-8-4 D&RGW Yellowstone? Only the UP had the 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, then again, I didn't realize that the D&RGW had any 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone locomotives anyway, except those that they borrowed from the DM&IR during WWII.
it runs beautifully both forward and reverse, especially at low speeds. Its loaded with detail and smokes like a champ.
You will also have a one year warranty with it
I would have no problem going for the MTH version.
Good luck
Wow, Hot Water, I knew I should have got the wheel arrangement right before I posted. Yes, I did mean 2-8-8-4. I had a feeling that I had the wheel arrangement wrong but wasn't at home to check.
