Back in the 70's, I got a couple of the original PDT's with the intention of using them to build a Class A Climax. Must say I was more than a little disappointed with their performance. They would go from 0 to 60 instantly and I had a lot of trouble with power pickup on them, even when both trucks were wired together. Needless to say, the project never got off the ground.
I'm sure that they have been vastly improved since then and I'm thinking that if you powered them with DCC, the performance should be pretty good. As I recall, the original PDT's came in several different wheel base lengths and I'm guessing that the new ones do too. I know that they weren't sold back then in pairs, so $170 for a pair of them, is a bit steep for me!
