I forgot .....
Craig, another thin g you have to consider is that most of the
regular dcc climax's go for more than $125.00 alone....and if
you want to install tsunami sound as well, thats another
$120.00 minimum. Also, if you dont install the decoder yourself,
thats another $75 or so.....I guess you can see where I am going....
Rest asured, you got a good deal!!!!!!!!

Craig -
Shay gear problems are fixable with steel gears from NWSL.
I have heard of a few Climax problems, but not near as bad
as the shays. I have 6 Shays, 3 of which needed gear replacement.
My new climax is painted black, unlettered.....Maybe I will have
it by next weekend and will let you know how I make out.
Craig H Posted - 05/19/2012 : 9:06:19 PM
Bill, Maybe we bought from the same place beat my price buy 1 dollar I'm hopeing mine run's good to. I know the shay's had problem's as the 2 truck i have need's work i havent heard anything on the climax having gear problems?
Geezer Posted - 05/19/2012 : 7:35:51 PM
You still got a good deal....I just scored one for $124.03 plus shipping.
Climax/dcc/tsunami sound.....I hope it runs good....;-)

How could you not have gotten a good deal. They sell for the low $200.00 with Tsunami Sound. Shipping is never included even when you buy retail. If they have more at $125.00 I'm in for 2!

I'll give you your money back if you want....;-)
Neil M Posted - 05/19/2012 : 01:47:15 AM
It sounds like you paid around the going rate (which is less that 1/3 of the MSRP!) so you got a good deal surely?

It's not like you got ripped off.
Ray Dunakin Posted - 05/19/2012 : 01:22:42 AM
Sounds like a good deal to me.
Craig H Posted - 05/18/2012 : 7:17:34 PM
If they going for around 140.00 bucks on e-bay then i really didnt get a great deal at 125.00 plus shipping?? But im Happy i havent test run it yet ill try to run it next week sometime and see how it sounds & runs. Hope theres no problems with the running gear....like they had with there Shay's.

Craig,

The latest 28601 went for $139.00
Ray Dunakin Posted - 05/17/2012 : 12:28:31 AM
Good price, but the shipping on 28 tons is gonna be a killer.
Emoney22 Posted - 05/16/2012 : 10:04:39 AM
You got a screaming deal. The MSRP on those beasts are $499.99.
