Nice train. I bought a Williams Berkshire for my birthday and it's burning up my Christmas layout while my Lionel LIRR M7 died again. Nice that Tony Lash got free advertising.
i know williams is by bachmann but i dont really know if the williams o gauge have any better quality than bachmann ho........ if williams is bettter than lionel i may pick one up
Williams and Bachmann HO are two completely different animals. Among O Gaugers' Williams stuff is regarded as practically bulletproof. It's more than a match for Lionel.
cool i'll check them out and maybe buy a loco sometime because if its better than lionel which is giving me plastic gears that wear out and break in the first 10 years!!
I gotta tell you, I was a died in the wook Lionel person but those Williams locos are GREAT.
They run smooth and QUIET. And the price is right. I am sold. Too bad they are now made China. I got mine in the late 80s and early 90s.

Twin motored with a die-cast metal chassis. Straight out of the box it pulled this train without any slipping or strain.

Does that switcher have a horn?

Just a bell. It's a canned recording just like the "True Blast" horns on their diesels.

It does, but it's an DC-only model. I will eventually restore it to go along with a similar starter set loco in my collection.

Well, a 3-ounce caboose with several pounds of cars behind it being pulled through a curve...things can get dicey, y'know.

Those are by MTH, the 60-foot flats with trash containers.
