Mine had an older N 20 type motor.
Thanks Philip,

From what I can gather I believe the supplied motor has changed over the years.

Great color on those ties.
Thanks Rick,

I'm having a ton of fun building this and with 3 day weekends, it gives me lots of time to model.  Glad you like the colour on the ties.

Thanks Larry,

It's has been an easy build so far as the engineering is spot on with very little fitting or sanding required.

Thanks Jerry,

The crew is working overtime to get this done as the yard crew almost lost one locomotive into the void forgetting that the original turntable went missing, the cause of which is still under investigation.
