At the New Hope Train Show I was able to aquire this locomotive. It is Undecorated. It realy is decorated. Just missing Road name and numbering. It has a die cast boiler and has very good wieght. My son has a pair of them since they were first aviable. He added additional detailing to them and used the ANNA road name. Mine is in the box awaiting whatever.

KEN : I only ran it on a test track. It's OK! My son when checking the flange gague on his two had to regague drivers on both of his mountains. They were to narrow. The gague had to be widened. How is the Trainmaster ?

Here is one of my photos of one of my sons heavy mountains. It is on the turntable of my last basement layout. You can see the additional detail he added. Obvious is the railphone antana on the tender and the feed water heater.

DJ, it was sugessted to me that I had used up my space at this site with the photos I had already posted . So I lightened up . Only to find out it didn't make a difference. I stiil can't get into my thread. I have no idea why that thread locked me out and I have no other problums with any other thread. Being it doesn't make a differance I put some back.
