Pulls quite well, but slow speed control is not great and top speed like a Shinkansen. Yes, always do my own decals
Or the docks and wharves of a large East Coast city. I can see it resting on a car float on a switching layout. It looks fantastic. Great job. Jim
Bruce, Why yes they do! This is one my dad gave awhile back. I picked up several more last time I was visiting. Scott
So for the chassis, I got one of the new ones with the can motor from Marklin set 81701. (The new photo grey 0-6-0 Marklin-88001 with the new valve gear has a horizontal can motor and won’t fit under the shell, but the trainset versions will) The new can motor versions are much quieter than the 5 pole open frame motor version. They also have a new capacitor. The new trainset version fits just fine under The Z Makers shell. So mine runs well and quiet. -Matt
Thanks for sharing that! I am impressed. Seriously looks like marklin upped their game with that new motor. You can see the smoothness right off the bat.
