That is an awesome detailed locomotive. Another great review James keep up the great work!!

Great review I was happy to see you reviewed this one. I have been debating on purchasing this loco, after this review I want one. Good to see the layout coming along, looking good!

It needs to be weathered. I love all of your videos and all of them have helped me think about what models to buy next. Keep on posting more and good videos.

One great looking unit. Another great review James.

Very nice unit. Can't wait to see the layout finished.

The detail on this unit is exquisite. It even has the antihunt struts on the engineer side of the trucks ... that were only on these GP60s.

This is a very nice engine, Your comments on how well detailed it is and how well it operates are well taken, but also apply to the previous release. I like EMD GPs because they take 18 inch curves very well. Train world has the previous release DC UP and the Blue and Whte, EMD Demo for around $ 80 and i got both. Ii also got two different numbered Santa Fes recently on Ebay for a bit less than that with shipping. These older ones have the black plastic spacers screwed into the coupler mounts. i agree no way would i pay $ 199 for a new current release DC version. Great review . Looking forward to when you get the layout up so you can show us the items against a fully modeled background

James. A well done review to help me make a buying decision this July 2018. Now new sub.

Great Review, what a sharp looking model....

The engine looks great and sounds great. Have to put that 1 in my wish list. I was hoping to see a video on the progress of your layout.? Maybe soon. Thanks again for a great review.

Nice review. Layouts looking good!

I purchased a DC one, NS............I love the detailing and smooth operation!

This just makes me even more excited for the new sd70ace that they are doing!

Fantastic smooth slow speed too very nice

I am new to railroading coming from the UK , not to railway modelling, you have a bewildering array of locos in the US can I ask when you do your reviews that you include some information re the history of the actual loco, when they were built, time frame of when they were used etc. Thanks for your great down to earth reviews. Neil

Nice loco. Good speakers and really nice prototype sound.

Another great review. I like Walthers locos. They run smooth and the prototype do have nice detail. Scott

The GP60s were my favorite Intermodal units to run back when they were assigned to our hottest trains. If a locomotive could be associated with a car the GP60 is a Corvette!

I Didn't think much of them at first but now i'm really considering getting an NS one...

Very nice review. You are really getting the process refined. I liked the camera work on the close cab run by. I wasn't at all interested in getting a UP GP60, but you have piqued my interest. I need another 4-axle unit for local power on my layout.

your video shooting is great in this one

Wow walthersproto has really stepped there game up by the look of that loco gotta give credit where credits due

This model is correct for 2005-2013. Sometime between May 2013 and July 2014 this unit was renumbered to 1089 but retained the patch which it wears today.

I dont really get this break in procedure on the instruction manual. What does it mean?

hello, does anyone do reviews of products after long term us to see how good the products really are. they look nice, but do they last and what about decoders that have been around for a while as well. we all expect them to look nice run good and work right out of the box but..........

Very awesome loco. Very impressive.

The song played at 0:00 is Silent Partner - Believer

Other than the AC unit, and the antenna, it doesn't look like Wathers has changed these GP60's from the Life-Like versions.

When you provide us with this some videos of layout? ;)

So what is up with the white ac units on the cab? I see them all the time. Aren't vapor and prime ac units aluminum when un painted?... Thank you for the review!

Hi James! This locomotive is with functional ventilators on the roof ?

very very very nice unit

The same thing applies to my Athearn Genesis CN SD70M-2, it's packed with details but it's pretty durable

I like my SP versions. But I think I need to clean the wheels because it cuts-out a lot.

nice layout.

I think I will get both DCC road numbers and run them together.

you can get the old version in DC in UP and SF for $50 at train world. Nice cheap high quality engine

Nice work by Walthers. The prototype has the EMD 645 turbo prime mover, the sound on this one sounds like the 710 especially when its idling, does it have the option to change the prime mover sound?

I own 2 atheren gp 60 4 axil,s Norfolk southern operation life saver the other regular paint scheme there both really nice smooth chunky hefty units ... I want to add some more detail to them...F.W.M...

can you do Santa fe train ?

all I can say is ,,,,,,,,NICE

Does it come weathered?

You should do pull test on locomotives

Decent, but I don't think i would order it after my Proto 2000 SW8/900 quit on me the first time it was run a good bit. QSI sound decoder, and it died a week after i bought it.

The hand rail are from wire ? Or as the ugly people from Athearn? With the failurs celcon plastic ?

Looks like the same old modeled on windshield wipers.

They're nice for sure! I love mine. Only complaint is no rear ditch lights & the speaker is kinda tinny.

Molded on windshield wipers? Bummer.

I`m a limey so I didn`t realise the snow-plough was wrong , other than that the attention to detail is staggering , British diesels 00 gauge are only recently this getting near this standard ,with lazer profiling getting the desired results.

Looks good, but has the wrong snowplow. You think they could get the correct SP style snowplow on this model. :(

not worth the 195 and that's regular dc.

Looks like Walthers has been taking notes from Dan Cortopassi...

I'm no expert but I would NEVER use your pull test. Did u hear that sound the gears made as u did that to that three hundred dollar locomotive?

Please stop going over the cards and run the thing!
