The long awaited Atlas ALCO H660's in DL&W livery are available. The link is to two photos of my DL&W version, though the Erie versions were in stock at Caboose Hobbies in Denver.

The sound DCC version of locomotive runs well, though it is very light and the slightest dirty track seems to stops it. I haven't added the truck chain detail, which looks very fussy. If anyone has a good technique for adding the chains, please post it as Atlas provides no information.

Finally, after setting up the locomotive with Decoder Pro, I was initially surprised when it starting running in what I thought was the opposite direction from "normal". I quickly realized that the front of the locomotive is the cab end and is marked as such on the frame.

Now for some weathering!
