I just recieved my locos today. They run great and sound great. Did you have any issues with the bodies vibrating? Mine do and I have to find a way to correct it to clean up the sond. Love the layout!
Any documentation that the Broadway ever ran an A-B-B-A E8/E7 power consist? I have an A-B-A consist myself, and the research I've done indicates that they'd normally run A-A, but would expand for longer consists to one E7-B unit. But if you have info to the contrary, I'd be interested.
Sound is pretty dynamic. The bell sounds like the brass types often found used on EMD locomotives up until the 1980s. What is the horn sound scheme? Is it a Nathan M3?

@ewsdneax61eaxe10 Not very big. Essentially a table-top design about 17x12ft. Wish I could do larger, and a walk-around design, but I'm sharing space in a finished basement. The table-top design, while not the best, afforded fairly broad curves in a small space. My minimum radius is 40".
@2005GLI Yes, they are all powered with sound. The bell is turned off on all but the lead unit, but I leave the horns active on all units. Makes a nice, rich blast when activated.

Not too enthused about the toy like wide opening in the front pilot. But overall they seem to perform very well.

@BlackWolfessUSCM The locos come with covers if you want to remove the coupler and close up the openings.
