Anyone ordered this loc?

Is it going to have the latest type of motor or will it be the 5-pole variant?

Hi great looking loc. I don’t have this one, but looked at the parts diagram.

Looks like this one has the new coreless.

Best wishes

I see it also has reduction gearing in the bogies - what are it's running characteristics like? I'd usually expect very smooth (especially low speed) running as a result of this.

Cheers

Runs like an AZL locomotive, very good, slo, maximum speed at maximum power supply setting.

I'll have to hope there's a non-insider-club version coming!

All the best

Small update. Didn't read/post much here since I joined some FB groups.
V80...

It IS beautiful. But technical it just doesn't perform.
I don't mind it runs slow. However, it runs bad. At first it ran very bad. I almost wanted to return it.
The trucks have some kind of spring mechanism. At first it kept derailing. Now it keeps on track..


So it drives slow and with bad electrical pickup!

I just got one of these from ebay. I’ve been trying to run it on my small briefcase 9v battery powered layout.

As parakiet says above it is very very slow, and the pick up is quite poor. It sticks in a few places (my track is spotless!)

Quite disappointed with it.
