With my class 86 down with a blown decoder, the arrival of my class 24 branchline starter set was a welcome site. Walthers, a USA distributor, had this set on blow out for under $280! While I wont be using the mobile station as I just put a complete Uhlenbrock digital control system, I did try the mobile station for the fun of it. Unless I find a reason to use the mobile station over the older set up, it will go back in the box. The little class 24 is smooth and quiet, headlights are nice and bright. A nice digital starter set. Mike
