Mine has been in and out of the shop numerous times. Had to remotor and
regear early-on. This is true of most of my brass engines, so don't hold
that against this model. I like the model because it has excellent detail,
and I have vivid memories of seeing those 7000's on the Lincoln-Billings
line back in the 30's and 40's. The 7000 was that line's biggest locomotive
back in the days of steam. Great engine! Dale Reeves
