And, from what I've heard, it's the GP9 that has the incorrect sound. The BLI SD40-2 does have the correct decoder. Hello 4884BigBoy, No disrespect intended but I have to disagree with you. As a teen I spent many hours around prototype EMD Geeps and Switchers. I took photos and made tape recordings back in the late 70s-early 80s. The HO GP9's sound is very close to the prototype. The BLI SD40-2, while it sounds "dynamic" and clear, lacks the distinctive Turbo Charger sound that's the trademark signature of most 645 diesel equipped EMDs.

QUOTE: Originally posted by gbailey Actually, as MR reviews go, it was fairly negative ... and should have been MORE negative, IMHO. You have to read between the lines with MR reviews. MR should take some lessons from CU to do a better job of making fair but honest reports. I have quit "listening" to the MR report verbage and concentrate on the stats/graphs. I know many folk who have given up on MR's reports altogether. If they don't improve them, they are going to lose more subscriptions. They have lost mine. GBailey,
