I agree,the Spectrum 4-6-0 with DCC and Sound is a fine loco.Just a comment,not a criticism,but it is the only steam loco that touches the side of my side mounted Peco Turnout Motors ,coming out of small radius sidings.I watched this closely,and it is the very wide pilot. My layout is only 10x5,"Flatsville USA"rural town.
I found enough play in the turnout to ease it back just enough to clear this little fella,s pilot.
Heritage 0-6-0,Roundhouse 2-6-0,Spectrum 4-4-0,no problem on these tight places.
Old age forced me to use these easy to install turnout motors,which are not as robust as the original ones fixed under the table or hidden in small sheds.
Another good feature of this 4-6-0,is that it seems to ride smoothly over less than perfect track ,and does not derail easily. We all try to keep everything A1,but at 82, I am getting to love the simple "New Generation"of Sound DCC types ,Steam and Diesel. For instance my new Alco S4 Switcher,a real go anywhere into small places.
Yes Mr.B. although I have downsized,I think I would be able to sneak another 4-6-0 Spectrum into the roster ?
