Some old school sounds.  SD45-2..........   this is a nice change from all of the GEVO and SD&70ace out there.   Got happy today, found this while doing some research on a SD45-2 santa fe HO scale genisis Athearn locomotive I ordered.  The one with the wrong road numbers on it, so they have included a special decal kit with it.  Hope the sound is as good as my other DCC sound equiped engines.    The older Athearn's are not that good sound wise, but I have four new SD70ace's BNSF and KCS that sound great ect for the horn.   Anyway I have started to appreciate Western RRing more now.  I dig on SF and SP WP and that old school line up of 5 engines up front and all of the helpers.  I am glad I grew up riding engines with my dad and uncels on Conrail and Chessie system.  My fav was the SD50's on coal. Back in the day I even go to man the controls.  Long time ago but still was fun.  Very Diff now days.  After 9-11 it has been hard on us rail fans.  My son is leavin for Afhganastan in months for combat.  Strange becuse I was in the military during the First gulf war.   And please if anyone wants to tell me this would be better on a model RR forum then dont waste my time.....  I am not on here to make friends.  I enjoy the forum......................... God Bless all

And God bless your son and may he come home safe!  And if he's like the men I served with long ago he's going just where he wants to be.  Don't know his branch of service but this old Marine says "Semper Fi!"  to him!
