Bachmann WOWSOUND, a total game changer

I believe it is, yes. I just love everything about it

My only caution would be.....

--Generally, you give lower marks or comments about wheel wipers-- which get dirty.
Maybe cleaning will be less of an issue with big caps.

--But more critically over time.... Bachmann gears do not have a generally great reputation.  Cracked gears are common.

Let's hope this very positive product remains positive after a year or so of heavy use.

I'm thinking the last time Bachmann had a "game changer" level of excitement was when the Consolidation came out.

Thanks for your review and your great encyclopedia.

Watched a friend at a show pull one of these off the track and it was still growling away has he closed the box lid.

I absolutely LOVE my Surfliner unit!

Has anyone figured out how to get it to not fire up whenever on a powered track?

I thought Bachmann solved that problem nearly 20 years ago when they stopped using white nylon gears? I haven't had a single issue with Bachmann gears since they made the switch.
