My M arrived tonight, so this will be short. I think everyone will be well pleased with it. Sorry, the light was fading fast, so no pictures until maybe tomorrow. Suffice it to say that Scott's video doesn't do it justice. This is a very nice looking engine. Some extras included in the box that I like are the separate "Sunflower" spark arrester and footboard pilot. My version came with the road pilot installed.
There are a couple of minor things that could have been done better, but, more on that later when I can post some pictures. Mine came with one little error that even Disney World made. It was about a one minute fix, but, I'll let you see if you can find it.
I think those of you who have ordered this engine will find it to be a nice addition to your roster. Those of you who haven't might want to get your orders in before they are gone.
One more thing I would like to say:
Years ago, before Mort Mann passed away, I had asked him if 3rd Rail would ever make an N&W Class M. He personally wrote me that they would. Time went on and sadly Mort passed away. Since then, there have been many nay-sayers that an O Scale N&W Class M would ever be built. I would personally like to thank Scott Mann for making good on his father's word. Mort would be proud. Nice job Lad!
