I like MPC era engines, especially steam, I liked the thoughts behind the Fallen Flags theme and the Famous American Rail Roads collections. I agree, the rolling stock, although colorful was same oh same oh and rather light weight. I think I have 4 engines now, the Chicago and Alton, the Turbine, 2 each Great Northern and 3 each Atlantic Coast Lines 'Silver Shadow'. The 'sounds of steam' is underwhelming...I run everything 'traditional' with sounds off. Last night I ordered the Joshua Cohen engine and hope to find an affordable N&W 'J' in the near future. I'll have to trade, or sell some of my stuff to finance the 1981 N&W #611. The fun is in the hunt, gotta love the hobby. Be safe folks.
