Tower 55 update
Posted by brew17 on Wednesday, February 1, 2006 7:30 PM
I spoke to Brian at Tower 55 today. Said the Gevo UP units should be arriving in their whse anyday to ship to dealers mid Feb. BNSF units would be March before dealers receive. I ask him some specifics about the engines. Ditch lights do flash when horn is sounded. Number boards do light when lights are on. Was very pleased with sound quality. You could turn horn and engine volume up or down with decoder. He also mentioned that as time went by and sound bites were updated, you could download recent sound updates via digitrax website. They would always update for better sounds. I look forward to getting my BNSF.
