Love the new Athearn Cotton Belt SD40-2T

[Anonymous]

My bad, was to tired to think last night, I am looking to buy two more I think, make a nice trio, both end units would have the lighting circuits, the middle unit would be dark with MV lenses instead of bulbs. Might have to sell of my On30 stuff to finance thier purchase, anybody need a Climax, 042, and a set of logging cars? Cheers Mike

Actually, that is a SD45T-2, the Blue Box kit is the SD40T-2. UP incorrectly put the T on the end for awhile, but they have moved it back to its appropiate spot.

Picked up one of the new Athearn ready to run Cotton Belt SD Tunnel motors today while visiting my parents in Indiana, took it to the local club I used to belong to and wow does it run nice, quiet, lots of detials. Ran it with a pair of proto 2000 sd60"s trailing it, ran with them beautifully! Just need to get the richmond controls light circuit to make the lights constant and have the gyralite work. Is anybody offering a duel mode sound decoder yet? I dont plan to add DCC to my layout anytime soon, but would love to have sound in this unit. I have heard rumors about them, but nothing else.
