Did a bit of playing around with the new SD45's and some video free handing. If the only sounded like this. I am, however, happy with the new model as is, out of the box. I've adjusted the sound on all three and speed matched them. When they're running together they sound pretty good. 947 wasn't in the video because of decoder trouble. I returned it to Wholesaletrains and it has since been replaced and put into service. [video]https://youtu.be/owdnhf9vuZw[/video]
I don't know why I have the armor. Started collecting it years ago for a diorama project, I think. I have whole train of it on 40' flat cars. Once again, I don't know why.
