the WBB 4-6-0 will be the only WBB loco properly geared. Sigh...this loco should really have been a creeper, if any should be.
But, it will get better with age and run-in, series wiring will help (but we -shouldn't- have to do this), and an ERR Cruise Commander, if there is room, will probably make it a very nice piece.
My Southern unit is in the mail, I'm told.
Now I'm really getting curious about the die-cast MTH version.
I'm sure how big the Cruise Commander board is but there may or may not be room under the hood with truck mounted motors.
