    I couldn't pass one up today, I needed my first N Diesel with DCC and sound. Found a new one for a good price, significantly les than the others I have found. I didn't find much info on quality/ reviews for this one, so I just went with my sickness of hobby impulse.

    Broadway Limited 7022 N SD70ACe Diesel, Paragon 4 sound.
    I was originally wanting a Kato, but all of the ones with sound are on back order and are significantly more $.

    I grew up with Burlington Northern green, and through the merge with santa Fe, orange in my area. So went with the BNSF model. I use to see the Santa FE SD70s, ES44s etc all the time at the station, amazing machinery, and the orange presented them well.

    Though after moving, Union Pacific is now growing on me. :cool: So the Big Boy can be the first DCC in that spot.
