I'm not done with this one yet! Stay tuned for round 2 coming up soon.

Kato makes good locos.

Man I thought I had a lot of patience; if we could only try and save all the crap thrown out daily on a mass level. I saw on Darth Santa Fe channel where he actually rewound a core (HO).... All beyond my patience level. May the Force be with you! Like you said you did get something to show for your purchase at least.

Too bad it doesn't work. Hope you can use it for parts. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Sounds like when he took it apart to oaint it ,he blew decoder. Then wired it and messed up everything else. I'm surprised you didn't clean wheels first. Should have guessed when you saw it was jamed into foam in box.🤪 Good luck buddy. Nice try, more patience than i have.

I almost bid on that loco lol... I was gonna paint it in N de M.

Well since it doesn’t work, it would be good for an equipment move or a funeral train

I hate all this electronic stuff in everything. My HO trains ran for decades with just a little bit of oil. Maybe brushes once in a while. Si😢🎉❤

My stupid phone messed up my comment.
