PIKO BR 64

I just picked up a new Piko BR 64 today. Ill have to say this is a huge step up cosmetically from their mogul lineup. The detail on this is much more in line with the LGB finish quality. The four l.e.d.'s that shine down onto the side rods are a cool touch. One other item I notice is all of the side rods actually move and have a purpose unlike the wad of plastic on their moguls. 10 leds total, three in front, three in back, and four under the boiler. I bought this for $525 from a small dealer in northern KY( rhineland trains 859-750-1617), best I could find online was $559. You will have to call them to get that price as his website price is higher. Only thing I notice so far that I dont like is the motor seems louder than the Buhlers especially at high speed. All in all its a very nice looking piece for the money and best of all its not made in China. Ill let you know how it holds up this summer. Ill add some pictures as soon as I figure out how to do so.
