[peteski]

Even for Bachmann, those are some good prices!

Thanks!

I picked up one of the NYC NW2's... For $49 how can you go wrong?

I need another switcher like I need more yard to mow, but I consider their S4 to be a pretty good runner.  It will be interesting to compare this to the Kato PRR NW2 that I have.

Thanks.
I needed a 44 tonner.

And I just spent all my allowance on some decoders.

Those are some seriously good prices though!

How are the GP7's? Like the CNJ one. Don't see the S4's listed.

They run fairly well.  I have one under an @randgust CF7 kit.  Still need to mill the frame for a decoder but it handles nicely along my DC test track.

I've got two of the Bachmann GP7's... Great runners!

I have a couple of those and while they don't have a lot of time on them, so far they perform very nicely.

.......another UP vote for the GP-7 and FM roadswitcher.  I run mine on DC and they operate well.  The slow speed control is excellent, even on DC.  Unlike many locomotives with the so-called, alleged "smart" decoder, it is not necessary to give these two extra throttle then scale it back.

I did manage to fry one of the decoders on DC, though.  I have done that to more than one B-mann decoder.

I have a Northern on the way.

Will the Kato NW-2 shells fit on the Bachmann chassis.

I have plastic frogs and was wondering how the response through those was with GP-7.  Dc control I might add.

Should be fine Kirk.  Most of the frogs on my layout are unpowered and the Bachmann products (including the GP7's & RS3's) go right through without stalling or having their headlights flicker.

Received the NYC NW2 yesterday... Just as you said... It handles nicely!

Very smooth runner!  I use mine in DCC mode.

And the yellow on the handrails and such is accurate.  I cringe when I see the yellow that Lifelike/Walthers used on their SW8.

Tks for your reply Michael.   I  have the H16-44 and it stalls at slow speed on frogs and is a growler.    Maybe the latest offerings from bachmann run smoother.  I find I have to keep my track pristine in order for even atlas engines to run good.  Tks again
