These sound and look great. The main complaint when they were released was that Lionel used a "less than Legacy" type of speed control and theses locos have a higher start speed and go from zero to 100 in a short turn of the throttle knob. The TMCC version from 2003 is actually a smoother runner.

Heres a video of the N&W version sounds on the B&O are likely the same ( not mine)

Heres a video of the TMCC version for comparision (also not my video)

Here are a couple videos of the locomotive in action.  One I'm doing some switching while in sequence control, and the other is running past a scale diesel.  The freight is a mix of scale and traditional cars.  Also included are a couple photos of it nose to nose with a scale Heavy Mikado and a scale Big Boy behind it.  Like said above, it goes from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds.  I have it speed limited at speed step 70.  If it goes much over speed step 100, it will fly off of an O72 curve (Don't ask how I know.  Lets just say there is a dent in the wall and not the floor thankfully.) while I have no issues with the scale Big Boy going full throttle around the loop.
