I have three Sunset steam engines, the EA1 on order. Yes, the SP cab forward is the most detailed engine I own, and, yes, you need be careful with handling. But, they are very well made and to show how well... My grandson pulled the SP cab forward off the layout and it went to the floor!! But, I contact Scott, sent it back for repairs, and still running to this day. That occurred back in 2002 and the most expense was with shipping. Always keep the shipping boxes and boards, very useful for storage (long term) and packing for moving, etc. Definitely the finest made, and not any more expensive than many from other manufacturers. As for running, I ran all three on the North Central O Gaugers modular layout at the Mundelein Library when in Chicago area, always drew a lot of compliments and comments. Now they work the rails of my layout in Oklahoma. Have upgraded my older Sunset engines with ERR TMCC and RS.
