Very, very nice.

How similar is the mechanism of a 1666 to these? I ask simply because after I went through my post war phase and sold pretty much everything, I kept a 1666 and 2026 because they ran better, smoother and quieter than any of the other steamers I had acquired (675,2020, etc...)

Enjoy!

I could be wrong, and please anyone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe the 1666 is the same as the 224 aside from being classified as an 027 engine with slide shoes vs roller contacts on the  the O guage 224. The 1666 is still a great running engine!
