N scale is coming along. Ten years ago almost no one had sound-equipped N scale engines. Now it's booming.
I was pretty impressed by the reviews I saw. Looks like a pretty impressive offering in such a little engine. I'm still debating about the scale I want to pursue, but if n-scale can provide that level of offering, I might be leaning that direction.
That would be tough to do.
Thanks for the review..... I guess we can say that it sounds authentic.
Note to all manufacturers:
In future releases, please write into the software the ability for the consumer to shut off the turbocharger. The high pitched whine is extremely off-putting and makes the attractiveness of any onboard sound equipped turbocharged EMD diesel very low given their MSRP, IMO.
IOW, please provide the consumer with a choice to forsake "authenticity" in exchange for sanity...

I super detailed mine. I added the following:
-windshield wipers
-air hoses
-brake hoses
-Atlas knuckle couplers (closer to scale than the oversize Bachmann couplers)
-BLMA see-through radiator fans (five of them)
-separately-applied grab irons
-engineer figure
-conductor figure
-shaved down the height of the locomotive by 0.5mm by grinding down the frame where the shell sits.
Thanks for the review..The sound isn't to bad..While its not a perfectly detailed engine it does fill the RTR DCC/Sound market.

Looking forward to it.
I'll post a video review of this locomotive today once I get it.
