**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

    Once again Walthers has done a wonderful job on their line of EMD switchers. I purchased the NYC,DCC ready version in NYC paint. The paint is evenly applied, lettering is sharp, opaque down to the smallest lettering. Even the NYC lettering for F , 1,2 etc on the frame, unit number on the sides of the headlight are legible and accurately applied. For my DC version, it ran smoothly and quietly right out of the box. This is my 6th EMD switcher purchase of the Walthers model and I haven’t been disappointed yet. If you are starting out, it need a yard or branchline switcher don’t overlook this model. With its detailing, excellent paint and running quality it’s worth your investment!
