"I got the SP version, 9952. I have to say I absolutely love this locomotive. I only bought it because I am a fan of oddball and off the wall things. The U50 loco runs great right out of the box. The trucks have metal centers and the articulation pieces are also made of cast metal. The mounting points are in such a way that the locomotives mass is positioned well over its two inner powered trucks. (the two outers are NOT powered but do pick up electrically) With this it went over any track I could throw at it, dirty or clean without any problems. I found that it had no issue hauling up to about 30 various freight cars and well over 30 coal hoppers on its own.
The detail on this locomotive is also excellent. The see thru grilles with the traction motor blowers and radiator fans in them really make the model complete just like the real one. The hand rails I found are very durable, however the step ladders are not glued on and will pop off from handling.
All of the lighting worked just fine by plugging in a 9 pin TCS T1 decoder, and if I decide to remove the board completely and replace it with another the lights have their dropping resistors located locally at the bulbs so that dropping resistors are not needed to keep the 1.5 volt bulbs lit up. I plan on as soon as its released replacing the board in this loco with the Tsunami U50 specific sound board. Something this awesome deserves good sound !
