Otto Vondrak, President of the museum allowed Bowser to measure the loco and has been a great help.

Excellence!
This is a really impressive little model with excellent slow running qualities plus some nice roof mounted detail..I like the roof. fans,and grills and the anti slip walkways.All very neat and refined.Digital sounds just fine but if you switch off the motor is very smooth and quiet.It is nice to get a variation on the standard Conrail blue livery and i really like this patched red .I can recommend this Bowser product
