See a demonstration of this brass HO scale locomotive on our HO scale club layout, the Milwaukee, Racine & Troy. The detailed model is based on a Southern Pacific prototype and features a dual-mode sound system.

Watch this DCC-sound-equipped steamer in action on the Model Railroader club layout
LOOKS GOOD
Nice engine, very nice sound….
The exhaust sound, bell and whistle are very realistic. Too bad my division didn't have any.
What a nice piece of machinery. It looks very good, so is the sound.
I like the feature with the chuff (function 9).
Fantastic model M-6 Mogul. From the video, the sound sync and smooth movement with the speed changing and sound adjusting….what a wonderful visual package.
Beautiful, sounds perfect, only it won't the railroads I model, bummer!!:-(
This was GREAT! It adds so much to the article in the current issue. How about putting together a video article showing the MR& T in action. Maybe a fan trip around the layout with some switching in the background and an explanation of the scenes modeled.
If it's from sunset, it's the best or darn close to the top!! makes me want to go back down to HO….
Awesome sound and a great looking steamer. Thanks for the video review.

Wow. Great sound on that 2-6-0. Might be a good locomotive for my Georgetown Lumber Co. layout I am building. Looks great while its running too.
Very classy! Job well done!
This was a great looking model and the steady video allowed one to view it properly. The sound effects were a nice treat and overall, a nice job well done! Perhaps a closer close-up would be next on your agenda.
Very realistic sound effects.
saw review sure would like to get one for my collection. I still have old rubber band drive engines.
Looks and sounds impressive.
Very nice locomotive!!! I hope they produce other road names here in the Northeast!!
Nice loco and well done video; wish I didn't like everything! Looked like ghosts were running the engine . . . . . Driver tires and tender trucks in a photo or video need to be painted as the eye goes right to them.
I agree with James Walker from Virginia- Give It Smoke!
Very nice! I currently run DCC with 3 engines. I have had several brass engines, but feel they are more for collecting and show.(If I could afford more I would have them.
Nice presentation, Dana, thank you! I really like what companys are doing with DCC these days, wow! May I add a small criticism? Hit up Cody for one of his Coca-Colas and have a smile. It makes for an even better presentation. Thank you, again, Dana. Excellent job!
Great review. I remember the M-6 being called a "little Mike," because of its pulling power for freight, but was a "newer" locomotive with enough hi-end for passenger service.
Looks good, Sounds good, Very impressive — Now give it some smoke
Fantastic for those with a "brass budget". I'm afraid some of us have a brass taste on a plastic budget!! Almost makes me want to move up from N to HO and get a second job!! Such is life!!
Saw these run on the SP in California's San Joaquin Valley in the last days of steam in 1956. The whistle sounds right!
Man! when I see this I want to model SP California style. What a fine looking model!
