I only bought a superbass FB, since I already have an ABBA set of the 2014 release. The first one I got was a non-programmable dud. I dont know if it was the switch or the board, I just sent it back to Charles Ro and got a second. The second one took an address and holds it. The wires for the electrocoupler are a problem. They are way too long and get in the way of the wheels. I dont think it would take too long for the wheel flange to shred the insulation and short out the works. I found the solution to be easy, simply remove the electrocoupler wiring from the truck block (i.e. make it a dummy coupler). Others may not feel like opening it up to do that. It being a B unit, the amount of times where I'd use the coupler anyways was going to be zero.

I bought a NYC unit. Its black, and I find it to be an acceptable shade of black.
