The few 3rd Rail PRR engines I have are ones not made by other manufacturers: N1, Q1, H6, ToT, and Brill 660. I also have on order a F3 ABA set because 3rd Rail is the only one to have done a correct Pennsy version. They are all nicely detailed, good looking models.
They all have cruise and sound, some came with it and others upgraded. Except for the Q1 and Brill, they have only been run on a test track but they all work well. I’m a little concerned about switches, but my layout will have Ross #4, #5, and a few O-80. Crossovers are #6.
I like my 3rd Rail products. I’d have more but did not discover them until the end of my procurement era. I already had a good stable full of MTH, Lionel, K-Line, and Weaver engines.
If you buy an out of warranty engine and it does not run well, send it to someone like Gunrunnerjohn or Alex_M and you will get a good running engine back.
UPDATE: Corrected. I have the N1, not N2. Sure wish 3rd Rail would do the N2sa.
