So I finally got to run my copy of #1369 around my “layout” today. The videos are still uploading and I will post them soon.

Other than a little squeak here and there, overall mine seems to have no obvious problems. It operates forward and reverse with very little noise, and was able to push a small train in reverse with no issues. Currently I don’t have any grades on the layout, so it’s an easy task for really any locomotive.

The paint is excellent in my opinion. Next to my WGH Funeral K4s, the smokebox is clearly darker. The paint occasionally knocks on green’s door, but under 2700K LED lighting, it looks fantastic.

The banshee whistle is OUT OF THIS WORLD good. I really, really like it, so kudos to the audio team there. Other sounds are good too, though I haven’t put it fully through its paces.
