Great Loco!
I got mine a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with it! It looks great and is pretty well detailed, although they are mostly molded in the plastic, and it runs exceptionally smooth and quiet! It pulls great and also runs well with an older Proto 2000 GP 20 that I have. I have noticed that the slow speed operation of the Walter's is quite a bit better than that of the Proto. I think that this a steal at the price they are selling it for! Buy one! I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Great Model of Classic Rail Power
Iโve bought several of these Walters GP9 models from Amazon by watching when they are on sale. Itโs a nice model, runs smooth and will be easy to add some detail and depth. Thereโs lots of pictures of this engine on short lines so I will be able to have an example of use and wear to replicate on my short line. This is old school DC operation, which personally I prefer. I would rather spend my money and time with other aspects of the hobby. Came when promised with no damage.

Excellent Value Locomotive!
Amazing little locomotive for the money. Just getting back into model railroading, and came across this one on sale for around $63 dollars. Incredibly happy with the purchase, and it compliments my other BNSF and Santa Fe locomotives well. The detail is actually quite good for this price point in my opinion. It runs very smooth and I had it pulling 10 cars very easily. Also, I was impressed with how smooth the start and stop was at slow speeds. No jerking or sudden pulses with my unit. Overall you canโt go wrong with this one!

More than worth the price!
A good running engine at a great price. I'm impressed by how good it actually is for the price. The detail is basic, but the price is a lot less than the $200 - $250 range for premium models.

Disappointed
I loved the look of this engine. It went around my track once, then it kept stalling and derailing. Also, a few small pieces of the body were broken off when I opened the package.

Beautiful smooth and runs great
I am just a hobbyist but for me this loco is awesome! Runs so smooth and I finally have one that doesn't hiccup on turnouts. Arrived fast, zero damage, beautiful paint and detail for the price. Looks great hauling oil tankers on my layout, highly recommend!

EXCELLENT VALUE!
I purchased this loco on sale and it arrived on time. I wanted an inexpensive DC loco that would run on my DCC layout. I plan to convert this loco to DCC when I have more confidence in my soldering abilities and when I can find the right decoder at a good price. It is a beautiful loco and it runs more quietly than my other locos. And it has lights front and rear that turn on automatially. I have to say that Amazon Canada carries a great selection of model train accessories at an excellent price!
