I just purchased an Electric RR sound board for my Williams O27 Alcos, and installed it about an hour ago. Extremely easy. For $50.00, it sounds great. Revving, horn, bell, coupler clank, and more. I like it so much, I'm going to buy one for my Williams F3.

A Williams vendor recently commented on OGR's forum that there are some changes coming to Williams Trains for 2010. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Williams has yet to reproduce the Lionel 675/2025. I think that would be a wonderful addition to the Golden Memories line. One with a silver stack and Baldwin wheels.

I'd also like to see some Alcos dressed in the New Haven scheme, perhaps repros of the Lionel 209s. Together with a set of 2400 cars, they would make a great starter set.
