I have absolutely no need for a C39-8 since it is way past my era, but I saw one at Trainfest a few years ago and was impressed with it.  I may pick up a CR or NS unit because the price for a DCC/sound loco is just too good to pass up.

I have 2 and they are most definitely my best running sound locos.  The question is, can I resist buying almost two more for the price of one?

And I just bought one last month at the old price.    :facepalm:

Oh well.    I've had my share of good deals/steals. 

I just repaired an almost new Model Power Pacific I got for 10 bucks.

You win some... you loose some.

It's a fun hobby.   :tommann:

If you got yours direct from Scale Trains.. contact them.. maybe they'd give you a bit of credit for a future purchase..

No.  From a dealer who sells on ebay.

Conrail actually used theirs as "horsepower hour payback fodder" for a good portion of their early careers, so you'll be well served.

And because of this, one of the 90s ones is heading my way

I just picked up a COnrail as well. What an amazing deal! And perfect to go along with the Dash 9s that just came in.

Not going to lie, I'm impressed with their shipping. I ordered Tuesday afternoon and it's in my hands today.

Broke down and bought 1 each. CR and NS as a self Father's Day gift, since I never get any......

With only a little stretch on my IHB layout I figure they can run my transfers to IHB.

I received mine (NS) and, man, what a gem! Absolutely stunning in the looks department and it may be the best sounding N scale loco I've heard with factory sound. I usually end up reworking something in factory sound units to make them more robust and less tinny, but there's no need with this one. :D

I got mine last night and can vouch for the fast shipping.  Units look beautious and my only regret is that I wanted the NS with yellow snow plow but they were sold out of those.  I also like the NS ghost scheme that ran before getting the full paint job, but those were still full price.....These are far and away my best performers with sound.
