Hi all.

Does anyone out there have some A Gen SD-75's and P2K SD-60's that they run togeather?

And if so how do they run?
And which unit would you put up front?

Thanks....TYPAN

The Athearn Genesis SD-75 can run at a pretty good clip or faster than proto type while the P2K SD-60s run a bit slower. If you are running them on direct DC, the SD-75 will want to drag or pu***he SD-60 causing motor overheating and wheel drag. If you are installing DCC decoders, you can limit the top end on the SD-75 using a speed table set up so they both perform the same.
