Williams O Scale P32AC Locomotive Unboxing - How Will It Work?

Back in 2013 me and my family went on a trip to New York and while we were there we visited Grand Central station and saw a New haven P32AC sitting beside one of the platforms.
I've wanted to buy a model of one for a while now but they currently don't make any in HO scale. Williams (Bachmann) does make one in O scale however so I decided to order one.
O scale equipment is something I'm not as knowledgeable with compared to HO however from what I can tell the quality seems decent.

MTA's heritage fleet are a beautiful sight. I've seen their P32 painted up like a Conrail FL9, really neat to see modern locos carrying fallen flags.

Nice locomotive. Glad to see you run different scales of trains. It’s nice to have a good variety. Just one point of reference, the black lead from the terminal track should always be connected to the “U” post or “Common” on the Type ZW Transformer. That black lead connects to the outside rail. The red lead should always be connected to one of the A, B, C, or D posts, which A/C “Hot” or positive. This is critical for proper whistle/horn sound, especially with Railsounds. Red is always center rail, and Black is always outside rail.

I find it astonishing the New Havne P32AC-DM has yet to be made in HO scale aside from custom paint jobs and brass models. MTH made some in O scale too, along with some matching Metro North cars. Or maybe some Railking New Haven cars would be a better match.

I think O scale still has regional popularity in the Northeast and especially the area around New York City so there's demand for models of this type of commuter equipment. It's also why there are a relatively high number of O scale models of New York subway trains.

The Williams stuff is pretty bulletproof but get yourself an external circuit breaker and some Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes to protect the electronics on that locomotive. As you know, I operate and collect 3 rail O gauge and my experience is that Williams trains are just about the ruggedest modern O gauge trains out there.

That is a beautiful engine SMT! Can its whistle be activated by the ZW's whistle control? Many model railroaders/railway modelers have more than one scale or gauge. Leonard Williams has may differently size trains from TT scale to Gauge 2. With the Vista Dome car, you could say it is a "mixed" train. I recall Lionel offering a mixed train set many years back that had a New York Central RS3 with a box car, tank car, NYC streamlined coach, & NYC streamlined observation car. In 1951, '52, & '53 the Sears and Roebuck Christmas catalog had Marx sets with both passenger and freight cars.
