@Alex W posted:The Black River set truck issue aside, I haven’t seen much posted about the new SW1 besides a photo of Mr Muffin’s custom made runs.
I received the B&O version today and am pleased. Works out of the box and is a smooth runner. The color seems close enough as well. A quick test run with the Bluetooth app provided really nice low speed switch performance. As expected the former MTH tooling came out great.
My two minor complaints are: 1. The LEDs used are bright white. A warmer version would have been nicer but not worth opening this little thing up over that. 2. The roof hatch to access controls is difficult to remove. A grab iron and the bell placement makes lifting the panel very tricky. Interestingly enough I’m unable to find a volume dial on the loco.
The only way to adjust the volume is through the lion Chief app or legacy
