Excellent video! This will help me a lot. 👍👍👍

They are American, they are made by GE, they have American horns, but then exported to china? Man my country needs to have these!

When people say that diesels all look the same. Tell them that Today, yes, they do look the same, but in the past, there were many different types, including Cowl units. Cowl Units & Cab Units, to me personally, are my favorite type of Diesel Locomotive. They have that complete uniformity all throughout, and they don’t have those Huge Radiators on those Thin little bodies, no, it’s all the same width throughout, and I love em for it. Also, when people say that Cowl Units look great with passenger trains, tell those same guys that they look good with freight as well. Although, like all locomotives, they have their upsides and their downsides, and the downside for Cowl Units is that you can’t see directly to the Rear of the Locomotive itself. A price has to be paid when it comes to looking good I suppose, in the world of different types of diesel locomotives.

Doesn't seem like much of a long haul locomotive with that small of a fuel tank

4000 to 4400hp are weak to me.

We like the 5000 5800 5900 6000 and 6600hp locomotives better.

Exactly we're tired of this 4000 to 4400hp crap we got here in America.

And now they will reverse engineer it and start building copies.

Excellent video series. Thank you so much! 👏👍

I need this one ❤

Even brand new (like the ones I have) they will probably have cracked gears. Also, grease in gear towers may be shot.

What kind of horns did the china gevos have

Thanks for sharing this. I thought (through everything I have seen online), that you must use a 3 wire stay alive with ESU decoders. However, your video proves that the LaisDcc 2 wire works fine. Do you have any comments regarding the suggested requirement for a 3 wire say alive?

Awesome review just needs some more enthusiasm in the narration.

I love the fact that they have K5H horns and are just like the gevos here

Beatiful👍

Canadian National better Keep their Cowl Units in service. They look better then the Utilitarian Freight Diesels with their GEVO styled Wide Cab noses and the narrow and thin body with Huge, Ugly, and Bloated radiators in the rear.

Don’t you need to wire the leds with additional LEDs? The EE in me says not to wire LEDs in parallel with a resistor

Its is nice rapido is redoing this , should have never made a buget model

I use athearn wheels 40"

Ge prime mover sounds good but why in an emd locomotive ?

I cant obtain on mine this nice difference between curve sound and switch sound. Perhaps is because we use Fleischmann track

Can we still acquire the spreadsheet?

this is ho scale thought this was N scale people need to learn to put it in the title what scale it is...

I own a pair of later run versions with factory ESU V5 installed. The contact pads for the ditch lights were replaced with a JST plug which is honestly a pain in the ass with; would’ve been perfectly fine with the contact pads so the shell can separate easily with no effort

Hi I have an operator NS ES44 from Scale trains do u know what CV,s I need to change to make them alternate when I blow the horn thanks..

Absolutely correct about the Bachman non sound decoders. Bachman engines do have the ability to run pretty well, but they insist on putting those deplorable decoders in them. At least, they have the 8 pin plug, in them, & the DCC ready ones, also, which makes it easy to swap out. The balance issue, on the drivers, happens quite a lot, with steamers.I bought a Bachman 2-8-0, while back & a 4-8-2 mountain, & have put decent non sound decoders, in them, & they run beautifully, at slow speed. The decoder choice makes all the difference. Sorry for the late responce. I have seen this vid long ago, & thankyou. Cheers Michael NZ

Any instructions on how to make it?

How do you get those bells in the train because I know there is a horn change button and but there is no option for bells.

How is it that a Chinese gevo has a 6000 HP Generator that works but the Gevos in the USA don’t?

Where did you buy the quick disconnect pins?

The same installation procedure should also apply to locomotives using the same chassis that some other Athearn models use (SD80MAC, SD70ACU, SD9043MAC). Models with deck mount ditch lights will have LEDs in the housing while those with pilot mounts will have the LEDs on a light board on the chassis, making 2 90-degree turns via light pipes but tend to be very dim because of the 20K ohm resistors on the stock 21MTC board

CP 8000 is currently under restoration at the BC railway museum. It's the last surviving example of a Baldwin DRS-4-4-1000 anywhere in the world.

This was SUPER HELPFUL THANK U

Wow great work looks and sounds awesome

Is the spreadsheet file still available? The link is not working.

Can you get the sound for door-close and chime with regular Loksound Select decoders, or does it absolutely have to be the FX decoder?

Anyone know a website that sells these I don’t want to do it my self

A very well done video

Great video! But how do you get directional sound to work? When I consist my locomotives, only the lead engine sounds (for horn and bell) play, even when I go the other direction. How do you make the sounds for the cabcar work if you are going it it’s direction?

What other popular manufacturers use straight line motor? For example Genesis and Athearn are popular and so Atlas. How would I determine what type of motor they use? Thank you

4:50 now that is an amazing sounding locomotive.

Great video. By far the best, clearest and most helpful video on speed matching. Thank you.

Puong?

Great video and information. Very useful. Long live Proto!

Love how they just made up some of the names.

can you please send me the link for the Speed/Throttle/Step/Index conversion chart and CV5 reduction calculator: as the link does not work. Thanks in Advance

Was that at Hengdaohezi?
