I was looking for a second live steamer and after much debating decided on the accucraft mogul. I bought it used from a guy in Michigan and he bought it used from a guy in California. So this engine has run all over the country. I love it! The engine runs great, pulls great and looks great. I had so much fun running it at the RIT steam up that I ran it again the next day in my garden. The locomotive is pulling the new work train that I am working on. Running in freezing temperatures improves the steam effects greatly!
