I had a really good experience with this engine...worked right out of the box. But all the adverse posts about this and other recent engines had me really afraid to order any others...thinking I had just been lucky.
However I took a chance and ordered the ATSF 3759 and it too is just perfect. A couple of tiny nicks on the rear edges of the rear truck, but acceptable. BTW, does anyone have a suggestion of a compatible black paint pen to use for something like this?
