Beta 3/Production Candidate suggestions:
Get a better horn and bell. Hands down.
Recalibrate speed-to-dial-turns. Engine moves really fast even at a relatively slight dial turn.
If those two things happened, this engine would be absolutely fantastic at this price point.

Thanks for the video!

i would add--
1. Add conventional (AC transformer) control. Without that, I would have to be extremely hard to convince to buy it.

In fact, as much as I love and adore the concept of a Menards engine (especially if it is marketed as an FP7 unit when you folks say that no one has previously made an O-scale FP7), I would be almost 100% sure that I would not buy this or ANY engine that doesn't have conventional, even at a ridiculously cheap price.
