I had a chance to see the El Capitan in action down at the LHS the other day. It's a beautiful set!

Hi Tn,
As far as i know all ABBA are powered no problem DC but more expense DCC both El Capitan car sets ABBA locos & decoders is a bit too much to ask santa for £585.00
They do look cool though ...... where did i put that savings box ....

That's a beautiful train! I liked watching it pass by in the video. Should be a good seller!

Thanks Guys ! UPNICK , most Santa Fe guys would have a few Warbonnets laying aroud to use on this train , like I did. They are all powered and DCC but no sound.
Thanks , Mike

Took the plunge and ordered the set...can't wait for it to arrive. I plan on running mine with an FP45 and F45 as Santa Fe did in the later years. Hope it will look as good as your lash-up.

Mike...You made my day with that video..!! One of the primary reasons I model the NM area is to allow me to run a Super Chief consist. I've only got the A-B engines right now, but will add the passenger cars as time & $$'s permit...
Have yourself a very Merry Christmas....

Gus , Thanks , I hope you are able to get a set . It is a great looking train. I just had to have it . Now if IM releases the cab forward all I ever wanted in N Scale will have been produced.
Never thought I would see a NYC M497 Jet Car!!!
