Athearn Genesis AC4400 with ESU Loksound V5
Рет қаралды 452
2 ай бұрынI just picked up 2 of these New Athearn Genesis AC4400 Models. I am highly impressed with the detail on this engine and lighting features. I was a bit confused why they only have 1 ground light, but from my research that appears to be prototypical.
My only complaint is the pulling power on these locomotives is very weak in comparison to a Scale Trains AC4400. I couldn't make it up the club layout hill with 16 cars behind it... the grade is 2-4% and 4% in HO is a lot but still..
This started out as a Tsunamii 2 equipped model. I went in and tore that all out. I installed a decoder buddy, Scale Sound speaker and ESU V5 21 Pin.

Can't wait for mine to come in, that looks amazing !

Pulling issue might be the BEMF on the Loksounds. Might need to add some more kick to it !

Do the number boards automatically turn on when you start it up or did you do any rewriting

All of the settings I put on the ESU are custom. the board lights do not turn on with the locomotive.

@@justinmalachinski1496 thanks! I am pretty impressed with them, could have a hit more weight for pulling power but fast ground they do fine.
