Lehigh Valley C628's

[ChessieFan1978]

Here are my new Bowser RTR C628's. They have replaced my older Stewart models. All I did to them was change out the airhorns for more prototypical ones that the Valley had on their C628's and I added Kadee 58's. I hope to list my old Stewart C628's on Ebay soon.

Have you noticed a big difference in these? I have two Stewarts that I might list as well if you feel the newer units are worth it.

thanks,

I think they run better, ALL the wheels have power pickup now, the headlights and numberboards actually light up, they have finer detail, and the paint is more crisp. I swapped out my Reading C630s last year. Want to get the RDG5300 soon.

Good feedback. I like that you dug in and weathered these units. They look great.

thanks,

Are you sure ? I have a few of the latest run in D&H and they only have four wheel pick-up on each truck. The further out spaced axle has no pick-up on it.

I am pretty sure that they have all wheel pickup, I checked the Executive Line C628 and C630 instruction sheets on line and they both show all wheel pickup. When I go to my parents (my trains are in the their Basement) this weekend I'll double check.

Just checked my 6 Bowser Executive Line C628 and C630's and ALL wheels have pickups.
