Very nice loco,well detailed,powerful,smooth (even at super slow speed pulling about 30 cars thru tight s-curves)
I added this to my Kato from the starter set ( ES44AC IIRC ) which was so long I call it my super stretch limo loco,but this one is way longer still.Very impressive.
Only cons,if they can even be considered cons,are:
Number boards aren't lighted ( loco from starter set is)
and
You have to install number boards yourself,along with a few other very small parts. I don't know what exactly the other parts are yet,as I haven't opened the tiny bag they're in yet for fear of losing them. Loco from starter set was fully assembled unless you count the air brake hoses.
Hopefully won't be a big deal but thought it might be worth mentioning.
This was my first experience with Squeaky's ,and it's been 100% positive.
