Detailed Review: Rapido HO Scale New Haven EP-5 With Matching 6800 Series Coaches and Dining Car

My review of Rapido's new HO Scale New Haven EP-5 with automatic pantographs. This is the DCC sound-included version. Also included in this review are Rapido's New Haven 6800 series coaches and matching dining car.

Definitely, do not use F20: Hyper Prototypicality, if you're running the factory-equipped DCC decoder!
