Beautiful former SP locomotives. I have always like the SP style snowplow on the A unit.

you do great reviews , so if they run a little long ,, oh well ,, not sure what people are saying to you , but I for one like to see you do all the test and stuff you did in older reviews , these models cost a couple nickels each and the more info we have on them , the easier it is to purchase , or not to purchase , thanks James , keep it up sir

F6 turns on the red emergency light, which was very common on most all SP diesels (at least up until the 1990s). The emergency light typically only illuminated when the emergency brakes where applied - bonus points for Athearn/Tsunami for shutting of the regular headlights when the emergency lights is flipped on. SP also primarily used "Pyle Gyra" lights which are similar to a "Mars" light. Each made by different companies, and oscillated in different patterns.
@jlwii20008 жыл бұрын
yeah I need to study up on my lights. If that light was red I couldn't tell anyway I am red green color blind. It's especially hard to distinguish on lights for me.

Not a single model company made a correct B unit. Not even rapido. Yes they have a control stand inside. On the F end which is noted on a B they have a small headlight and horn, behind the truck is a bell. On the rear end of a A and B unit they have a head light on the engineers side. I have only ever seen rapido do it once on the FL9, it would be nice to have it on plus they had a strange horn unique to them. Even though some think it is silly and not needed. Your paying 300 bucks a unit so you would expect to get the best you can. If brass can rip you off not doing it then your really missing out.

Great review James! Thanks for the info. I was wondering if we could do a review of the WalthersMainline® Plymouth ML-8 Industrial Switcher coming out in December. They will be in DC or DCC, but NOT both (it WILL NOT have a dual decoder as of yet). Trainworld is taking preorders now for these. Thanks!! Cheers, Dan

Man!.....that is a nice looking engine and detailing is excellent. I've noticed that most manufactures are going with led bulbs in favor of incadensent and wish athearn would do the same. I would even be willing to pay a little bit more for this feature instead of doing the switch myself. Other then that great engine.
