Frank and all,

I have a P2K DL&W SW8 with DCC and sound. It is a beautiful model and the
painting and lettering is top notch. (See attached photo on my layout.).
That's the good news.

Now for the bad news: I can't comment on the DC version, but the DCC/sound
version can hardy pull its own weight. Because of the space required for
the speaker, etc. the unit has no weight and has trouble pulling more than a
few cars, unlike the brute sitting next to it (Atlas S2) which can pull 15
to 20 cars with no problem, but that is a DCC unit with no sound speaker and
lots of weight.

Paul Tupaczewski thought one might add some lead shot inside the shell to
help, but haven't tried that.

Still, its a beauty.
