Alco HH660




Hi Folks;

Well it has finally arrived. I picked up my new Atlas Maine Central HH660 and I must admit it is a little gem. It is very well done and is very well detailed however I am sure glad that I have a visor magnifier as the truck chains are a real pain to get installed (yes you have to install them yourself). Now all I need is a small decoder to fit inside. I was looking for a TCS M1, but my local hobby shop didn't have one with a plug installed already. Hopefully I will be able to acquire one soon, as I cant wait to run it. On another note, Bowser has announced that they will produce a U25b in Maine Central Harvest Yellow http://www.bowser-trains.com/New_Products/New%2002_20_09%20U25b%2023375_23390/New%2002_20_09%20U25b.htm
I have already placed a reservation for one. Till next time...
