Matt & Kethleen, I have the N&W Class A. I am not a 'detail hound', but the loco looks good, and sounds like a steam engine. It is heavy enough to pull some 40 odd cars at the club. These cars are "stone boats". That means they don't roll well at all. The sound is good at the drag freight speeds that the engine should be run at. I think that if I put my cars behind it I could pull 70 or 80 up our 1.5% grade with no problem.
I am waiting for the cab forward as well and probably will buy one too. I am also waiting for their switcher to arrive as well.
