Yes sir, I run N scale too. I have at least 10-12 AC4400s (my favorite loco) in my N scale collection. However, recently I acquired this HO beauty cause it is a carbon copy of my N scale version 5714. I have a friend next store to us in the HO club and he said I can run with them once in a while so I'll take this bad boy over there sometimes and set him loose w/ dcc & sound. I'm still an N scaler though.
