In two new roads:

Really nice looking, eh?

Nice and expensive too.  Glad I'm not in "Z".

Not much more expensive than MTL, and a whole lot better-looking, IMO.

I lucked out with the Pensy being a near clone for Reading, scheme-wise, and now I'm mulling over doing one up for CNJ.

How does it run?  Smooth?

Yes. I have two. The first is from their pre-production run. I got lucky and got a good one--some had a few issues (which they addressed). I realize that it's running at a fixed speed in the video, but it is also negotiating some wicked track, including super-tight curves and handlaid Code 25:

I'll shoot some more sometime soon doing some starts/stops and include audio.

The second is from the production run. Have not even popped it out of the box yet, but when I do, it will eventually become either another Reading, or this: http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/tr_cnj1531.jpg
