Based on the catalog illustration the 2016 MTH 611 J is painted in a nice high gloss finish to represent how it looks today. The 2015 model I have has a satin finish. It will be interesting to see what other changes they've made - possibly extended coal boards on the tender???

This would be a pleasant surprise to me if it had a glossy finish to it, but I'm sure the auxiliary tender will be satin finish!

Needless to say I will be keeping my preorder of the 611 and hopefully won't have any problems with it. I will probably have it displayed mostly, but want to be able to run it on my small 10x11 single loop layout that's in the works, don't make fun of my limited 2 rail space lol.

I am wondering if these engines need DCS to operate correctly and If DCC is the problem? Joe I am guessing you have DCS by your signature? What are you using AC or DC power supply?

Thanks everyone for the help and keep it coming.

Brandon.
