A very comprehensive review! The commentary really goes a long way for these types of videos; absolutely adore the trademarks of the Railfan Review style (You know it's a Kovacs production when that one piano piece starts playing and the prototype history flashes across the screen). Can't wait to see more content; hoping for an SY review!
@@adventuresofamtrakcascades301 Don’t try to force it, though 😅 If they’re not able to get it, it’s just how things go. Also, as a side note, I had my pre-order in for about two years before the models finally arrived.
@@dougbailey392 It is a little wonky, but it still works. I don’t want to try to adjust it for fear of breaking it. It’s a minor issue in an otherwise flawless model.
Great review of a great model! Hope you'll be able to see the real 2816 operate someday!

@trainmaster844 You're very welcome 👍
O yes
Ive noticed on yours and others the fireman’s side ditch light is bent “up” . Assuming due to packaging.

8:15 LOl! in that case Instead of gru shrinking the moon, he’d shrink a steam engine. 😆
How did you get a discount? I had to pay full MSRP for my 2816
@@NinjagoGuy416 Did you order yours through TrainWorld or Rapido’s website?
@@trainmaster844 mine was thru Trainworld; they didn’t give me a discount at all. it was actually closer to $820 after tax and shipping
