Reply to "My impression of my new Atlas F-3 Burlington engines"

I got two WP units from this run. I'm very pleased with them. The sounds are so so, but it would be the same thing if you spent the big bucks for 3rd Rail. The fixed pilot is what sold me on them. I got them for $430 a piece, which i think is a pretty good deal. I haven't swapped the pilot yet, but i have no regrets about them.

The third unit is from Lionel. As you can see it rides higher than it should. It also has longer couplers and the steps are not body mounted. 20190420_17493520190420_224933

I see the difference.  Enjoy your engines.  I hope to also.  I was shipped 2 of the c units by mistake.  Sent one back and will wait for the A unit.  On whole, I am not disappointed.  I just expected better sounds based on the love I see poured out to Atlas on their engines.

I wanted 1 Atlas set for my collection.  The Burlington F-3s are a very nice selection for a person that will most likely only have 1 of their engines.  I think the fact that the other 2 players have their own sound systems and one of them is selling Atlas the prior version of sounds puts them at a huge disadvantage.  They should be Legacy at this late date.

When I opened them it reminded me of Jerry Williams back in the day.  Pricing was obviously different.  I just wanted to get some feedback based on my experience.
