I love these modular units and the entry worked very well
Love this locomotive. Runs great!
KATO as usual is reliable and good quality. Works as expected and allows me to see which side track is on and operational.
The purchasing and shipping process was great.. The locomotives, Rio Grande GP35's front headlights were molded and wired in reverse of Rio Grande's prototypical placement and operation. BLI put the Gyralights on the cab roof line like SP would do and the nose light was made into a straight beam. It's exactly the reverse placement and operation of that!!!! in this day and age, model companies go to great lengths to model each prototypes features. They completely blew it on these engines. So, I am really disappointed with them. Lastly, Paragon 4 is wacky compared to industry norms, including the lack of an F9 hold feature that ESU Loksound provides. BLI should make ESU Loksound their normal DCC decoder selection. BLI's are so unrealistic and difficult to consist. My pair of GP35's will be singled out of the fleet as one-offs and only run separately or together in consist. The headlight goof should never have happened and BLI should provide a fix for that major blunder. They should replace the cab and nose with the proper headlight fixtures and switch the gyralights electronically into the nose. I can't believe they did that!!!? From a die-hard Rio Grande fan and ex employee in D&RGW operations in the 1970's and 1980's. I'm very upset to pay that much today and get an unprototypical pair of D&RGW locomotives. I am thinking of returning them for this problem? What do you guys and gals think? Dale Keller - DRGW
