ebtnut,

I caught that, too.  Both driver engines have to be swiveled. Not a big surprise.  What caught me was the cab swing.  I was expecting the front of the boiler to stick out when rounding a curve.  Now that I have seen it, it make sense it's the cab that hangs out when rounding a turn.  Also makes sense that the tender draw bar extends way up under the trailing truck somewhere.  Keeps from pulling the tender off a tight (22") curve.

Typically it is only the brass models that do it the way it was done on the prototype with only the front set of drivers pivoting.  I have an Akane EM-1 and it works that way and I also have a Westside EM-1 on lay away and it is the same with only the front drivers pivoting. 

Bachmann and Rivarossi make both drivers pivot so it can tighter curves.  If you want to see boiler over hang look at a brass EM-1 taking a 30" radius curve.

Does anyone know if these engines have been shipped to Walthers yet?  I am waiting on 4 from my dealer and he gets them from Walthers.  

Please tell me I will see them soon!  

Does this include that they were shipped to Walthers?  I am waiting on some from a dealer that buys from Walthers.

Thanks,
Tom

So is there anyway to get an update on when these will be showing up?  I know there are a lot of us that are anxious to get our hands on these.

Can we get a bone please?
