lakeshoremodelrr I was shocked when they announced they were producing this model, all of us at the train club were amazed and many of us bought one or two, it's quite a show stopper when I rarely run mine.

It's confirmed, just announced!

Amen! I ponied up some cash to get one of the first release Loksound Rivet Counter versions and paid just under $600 for it. A couple friends at our model railroad club also bought some and one got a Museum Quality versions and after running them for a while we noticed the lead truck was constantly floating as it went through switches and got pretty annoying. It was an easy fix and Scaletrains repaired them quickly but I just adjusted mine on my own. The second run should have every bug eliminated and it'll be a wise investment to buy one. I think Scaletrains hit the ball out of the park in this model, just incredible! And now you notice the other model builders are a ping up their game to compete with Scaletrains, lol. Oh, when you get yours, I advise caution in making sure the turbine exhaust outlet cross brace doesn't get broken off plus, there's a four way brace farther down the exhaust outlet that can also come out. How mine came off is a mystery since someone would have to jam their finger a couple inches down the outlet or, it just came off somehow. Enjoy!

+SuperFrecciaNera The Turbine sound is exactly the same between the Rivet Counter and Museum Quality versions. The primary sound differences between the two versions are the Museum Quality includes curve squeal and frog clank. Also, you'll have more access to sound features using DCC.

Not sure yet, I plan to be there though.

jlwii2000 ok if you do I will most likely see you.

Bet Henry would love it.

JOHN ADAM I realize that my reply may be redundant since it's been a couple years. I have the Rivet Counter version and a friend from the club bought the museum version and they both sound identical in every way. They're both powered and identical in details to the museum version. Hope this helps. If you can find one under $425 that has sound installed, I'd jump in it. Some people may not like the front truck issue and dump it at a train show. Scaletrains knows about this defect and will repair it for free. The second run versions shouldn't have any issues with the trucks floating as it goes through some switches.

7 inches. I kinda wish they made this into a normal diesel irl.

If you are asking about the roads in this video, those are on my Colorado Joint Line layout rather than James' layout. They were made with plaster, then painted and weathered with chalks. You can see the installation and weathering of them on some of the videos on my channel if you're interested. Cheers, Kevin

Geez ....lol

The music is "Hot Heat" by Topher Mohr and Alex Elena. It's the intro music I use for all the videos on my channel. James "mashed" our two intros together for this video. Cheers, Kevin

Scale Model Trains & Colorado's Joint Line thanks i wanted to know

I recommend getting the Rivet Counter. Better pull, traction, and a slightly more accurate body.

Thank you for calling today +Joseph Bottone. Please accept our apologies for the miscommunication. Mike from our Development Team said he explained what happened and you both are working towards a resolution. Shane Shane Wilson President ScaleTrains.com, Inc.
