Hi.
I have a Life Like SD60 and plan to buy a GP60 to operate them together. Have they the same speeds in analog modus or may there are problems?
Thanks,
Michael Kreiser www.modelrailroadworks.de

Hi Michael. I have the P2K SP GP60 and SD50 which run well together, but the SD60 is another animal. I have several of them and they run slower (analog) than the SD50 or the GP60. You might be able to get one GP60 to run with 2 or more SD60's because they'll starve the GP60 of current. I don't know that for sure, but I do know I can get one Athearn RTR SD50 (also faster than the SD60's) to run well with 2 or more SD60's because of this. I can't get anything other than another SD60 to run well with just 1 SD60 in analog - it's just (geared) much slower than anything else. I'll see if I can't test for this in the next few days and let you know what I find. Take care.
Greg
