Hi all,
yes it does run nice. I've replaced the stock motor with a replacement Mashima motor,but the rest of the drive is unchanged. I have build in a Loksound decoder, which have quite good motor control,so she can crawl along, and sounds great.
SP does like their lights, that is part of the charm of this (and other SP locomotives) to me.
Both the Gyra lights, and the headlights work, but the marker and red emergency lights are not. The decoder did not have enough outputs as I used an N scale decoder for this loco to save space for speakers etc and not loose too much weight.
