After about six hours of continuous running, the Challenger continues to please me and my young son with it's smooth operation and trouble free mechanicals. Running it alongside the BLI stable we have reveals how wimpy the sound system is, however. I am disappointed in the sound, as I have stated before. It is tolerable, but not up to QSI in any way. The locomotive's execution in terms of detail and finish cry out for a better sound chip. This is a beautiful loco saddled with a chintzy sound chip, IMHO. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><font color="red">I emailed Athearn three times and received three replys. They are concerned and asked me to define my disappointment with the sound. I would ask again that everyone who is less than happy with the sound quality to let them know. My letter was given to their President according to their reply. </font id="red"> <br />I did not post the replay, but it was good and seemed to indicate they are concerned. <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Perhaps posting the Athearn E-mail address here...might prompt more of us to respond to them with our concerns???
