Lionel: A surprisingly good model. Yes the shells are made of ABS, and they have the much reviled twin motor drive with spur gears.
What about the twin motor drive with spur gears is reviled? From the pictures it that thread (and others) they look like pretty much like any motor with a flywheel and gears on the side of the truck frame. I think every MTH engine I own is like that.
