Good Kit!

I payed $40 for mine and it was still in kit form with no kadee couplers. I put it together and I am happy with the way it runs. I read somewhere that it was a noisy thing, but after running on a loop for about an hour it smoothed right out. I greased her good with white grease too.

I'm real happy to get this kit as I find they are hard to find. And it gives me a good refforance for building my own Climax from scratch.

Hiya,
That MDC climax when its run in will pull 10 log cars up a 5% grade without getting out of breath LOL
They are good machines, I made a new body for mine, as I didn't quite like the look of the MDC one. Here's a photo of it.

Sounds like you got a good deal. I've been looking for one to build an ON30 project from.
