A couple of corrections as I knock the rust off from vacation: Rear lights are not ditch lights but rear headlights. Vent placement I spoke about are dynamic brake fan grilles.

I like the reviews you do so helpful letting the viewers see what's new on the market for HO locomotive and what to look for. Thank You for your service from one VET. to an other VET.

Just purchased this model. Love it. Thanks for the review.

good to see you back james

Overall pretty cool looking model, just like any other model you can take the system out put in your own. Great review James.

Such a nice looking and sounding engine, I really like the smoking effect. thanks for the review.

finally, someone who likes the smoke effect!

No worries James. That's what vacations are for, so you can detach from the norm for awhile. Not sure about the smoke yet either. Some folks complained about the prime mover sound but it sounded pretty good through the Rolling Thunder system, just a bit tinny I thought from the onboard speakers. Hard to tell really from an internet review. Thanks for all the great information! Cheers, Dan

Danny Holt The prime mover is completely wrong for a GEVO, it's not a matter of hearing the quality through a video.

Great review but this is the second time I've seen you without you're

disregard previous post, Great review but this is the second time I've seen you without your pointer. I'll be glad when you find it. lol:)

The clicking sound at 12:54 came from the last wheel on the rear truck assembly. Might have been something on the wheel,or need ballast adjustment.

Love mine. Very good review. Thanks for sharing

I would love to see ESU/Lok sound come up with a Sub woofer system like BLI has.

Will there be anything on the BLI USRA heavy 4-6-2s or 2-8-2s?

I just received my rolling thunder ES44AC CSX 1776 could you possibly tell me if I need to use the funnel to fill something in my engine for the smoke?

Where can I find a UP challenger dome car because I rode in it on the Boise turn special

Is the atlas master gp7 with sound on your review list?

I have a blue line that only had sound twice, but sound won't work anymore, I'm using the bachmann ez controller. Any recommendations???

just got my first paragon 3 model NS 8098 wished the rear ditch lights were functional

Can this train be used with the digital commander set

If you press F9, it will start the sounds and you don't have to bump the throttle forward to activate the sound

Do you suggest getting an ac6000 in n scale

Very nice man I have NS 8103 version Norfolk and western

Cuantos sonidos tiene la locomotora¿? Gracias

Looks like my dad set a cig. on the cab.

Excellent video. The mistakes you made were no biggy. As you said, knocking off the rust from vacation. Something we all go thru in some fashion at one point or another. One thing I have noticed that you do is to move the unit to start the sound. Broadway Limited locomotives are factory set to F9 for sound startup by default. I will admit that I am not a fan of the smoke at all. All my BLI units that smoke are steam and first thing I do is turn the dip switch under the fireman's side of the cab to off. That smell of diesel turns my stomach after a bit. Another thing I noticed about the unit is the ditch lights flash. I believe UP's do not in real life. It's a nice model though. Thank you for another excellent review.

Has anyone had an issue with these engines jerking forward and backwards when it moves? I have four of them, and all of them do it. They seem fine when they're first out of the box but once they do some running they start jerking. Any thoughts? I've tried resets, and voltage changes, and changing the BEMF, and nothing fixed it

Nope. Broadway limited doesn't make locomotives without sound. Only manufacturers that have made gevos without sound would be walthers, athearn, mth, intermountain, and tower 55.

I had a locomotive just like that one in broadway limited man I got it 2 years later it doesn't work anymore

How much is it

As a retired railroad engineer the sound in nothing like a real diesel locomotive. The only sound that comes close to the ES44ACe or the ET44T4 is MTH and Scale Trains.com. l pay for true life like sounds regardless if the diesel smokes, but it must smoke currently if it is a steam engine. 4 chuffs per revolution.

Scaletrains horn is louder than that locomotive looks good

I bought such a locomotive this week and have been tested a little. In your movie you can not turn off and on the ditch lights with F7, I can not do it either, but I turn on and off the smoke with F7, is this like yours and others' models too ?? Operators manual says nothing about the smoke so it seem they have re-programmed something without giving any notes?

F7 turns on and off the smoke, F24 turns off and on the ditch lights.

I hope there's more than one horn sound; that one just didn't sound right - more like a car horn. :)

the smoke output is adjustable on these engines, and when you purchase the model, it comes with the smoke output on high by default. you can adjust it to make it put out very little smoke, or you can turn it off
