I am not a Pennsy modeler nor do I model steam. I think my last steam engine was a Bachmann Light Mountain or something like that bought via some highly discounted sale.
After seeing this post and looking at T-1 reviews, ordered one at $199.
I have early-run BLI PAs and E8s but switched to Loksound as soon as I saw John Colombo's installations. I was hopeful but cautious about the T-1. It certainly looks imposing and artful.
Well, I received it today and I am impressed based on the little running I did so far. The sound was mega-loud out of the box (but not surprising) but amazingly clear.
I am pleasantly surprised.
Maybe I can have it race my Rapido Turbotrain on my modern, concrete-tied, double track for a perfectly fun, model railroad mish-mash.
