I really like that 85 class, it works well, good puller, and looks very purposeful. The only trouble I had was something to do with the couplers. Only with some thunderbox coaches, the coach next to the engine derailed on one set of curved points. I never figured out why. I just did not use that engine with thunderboxes. regards Kimball

Very interesting Kimball, I'm having the same problem with Br55 from the same set and thunderboxes. I thought it was a problem caused by M-track. I've had no problems in r2 curves though. This seems to be a thunderbox car problem, don't you think? Cem.

I gave up using donnerbusch cars that came with the set, with the 85, and used the 55 instead, which works fine. The 85 has a very long coupler shank, which I thought might be the problem. regards Kimball

Kimball hi, It's geting even weirder No, I didn't get the whole set; I bought the locos and the thundeboxes seperately. Although if I use the gepackwagen at back problem seems to lessen. I'm dismantling my layout at the moment and on the new one I plan to use only r3 - r4 curves. We'll see what happens then Cem.

Hi Steven, The one we are talking about here is the one from the starter set. I think the sound option on single loco, the one you refer to, came out last year? Cem.
