The 6420 i geuss main home where it usally is resides in my hometown stratford ontario lol

I just picked up four SD75M units and because they are older production, i find there is no warranty. Mine are Tsunami1 decoders.

Steam generator sound your hearing, top left infront of cab.

Very well detailed

Great video, thanks!

And that information is for the real one

The pony truck wheels are black like the rest of the wheels and have a white star in the center

Nice review! It's a shame that the poor ditchlight design hasn't changed since the first run of these.

What Athearn did is use the Soundtrax economy decoder. For the SD40 locomotives so they have the start up sequence. I really like the RTR LINE of locomotives. I have over 8 BNSF SD40-2 locomotives I used Cannon cab interior kits. With amazing results.

Go with the foam, you’ll be happy in the long run

Cool video and love the Ready to Roll series got a couple of the SD40 ish locos also, strong runners! Love the lighting in your train room and the low angle of that run by looks great, some really cool rolling stock on there also, great video! -Ken

Very nice and attractive UP fef class locomotive model, I hope to be able to purchase one of these models in the future for myself later on.

Man I wish I could find atleast one of these BNSF

Thanks for the vid. Wondering if the numberboards light up?

I WISH THAT ATHEARN WOULD COME DOWN ON THE PRICES OF THESE BEAUTIFUL DISTINCTIVE SOUGHT AFTER MODELS! IF THEY WOULD ONLY BE WILLING TO MAKE A NONPOWERED MODEL FOR THE MODRL RAILROADERS THAT CANNOT AFFORD THE EXPENCIVE ONES.COMON, ATHEARN!IF UPU MAKE THEM IN NONPOWERED MODELS, WE WILL BUY THEM!I NEED AT LEAST 15 ON THESE IN HO SCALE UNDECORATED.I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO BUY THEM.

Glad to find instructional video with mu of more than 2 engines. Very helpful Thx.

Not much of a fan of intermountain models, especially the older runs, they are really light and the ditch lights on the CN SD40-2W units are pretty mid. The only reason I’d recommend Intermountain is the detail because it’s pretty good, or if you want a Comfort Cab equipped SD40-2 as Intermountain is the only brand to produce this variant.

I have one of these. I have BNSF #5127, and it’s a great model.

The high pitched whine is the dynamo that provides power to the lights. While the Athearn version comes in a better looking box and has better factory sounds than the BLI version, the only plus the BLI version has is the metal boiler. Now I have to see if I can get a better box for my BLI version. For passenger cars and water tenders I recommend Walthers Proto UP cars for the passenger cars and ScaleTrains for water tenders. Preorder the new run of tenders as the run from last year had massive issues.

What function is the firebox light on? I have that same engine and my fire box light didn’t come on when I pressed function 0.

Do the number boards light up??

Psyched you posted this. Grew up in East Lansing watching many GT, CN, and CV stuff running through town in the 70s & 80s!!!

There having problems with shipping containers coming from china..that's why everything is 2 or 3 months late. Like your display cabinets.

Getting mine hopefully today great video

Thanks for the video. You brought up an interesting point when mentioning the sound of Athearn versus Scaletrains. I'm curious as far as accuracy between Athearn & Scaletrains, I'm wondering if it's the proportion of the sounds that is more accurate on one versus the other? From videos I've watched, I always felt the Scaletrains horn sounded weak, and the Athearn horn sounded much louder. But the comment you made on Scaletrains Engine sound and other sounds being louder but their horn is lower made me think that maybe their proportion is just a little bit off. In other words the scaling of how loud the horn should be in relation to all other sounds might be different, whereas Aburn has lower Bell, engine, and other sounds and their horn is significantly louder? This of course is difficult to gauge when watching a video, but it might be an interesting topic for one of your future videos! Thanks again for the great work.

They are being delivered this coming week to us hobby shops and Canadian shops the following week.

When did you get your units?

The locomotive looks nice but it’s not worth the money, I have the Märklin/Trix UP 844 for 629€ (673$) and it has more features, dynamic smoke and more lights like the BLI UP 844

Nice locos I love tsunami 2 sound ! Waiting on mine from Tony’s trains

Great looking locomotives, they sound amazing too!

Beauties!

nice looking locos, Athearn right?

That CN wide Cab is really cool!!!

Nice collection of engines, love all of the Athearns!!! That's a great looking engine, I'm with you on the spinning bearing caps, now the stuff that doesn't have them frustrates me a bit, just makes the engine and cars look right as they roll past for them to be spinning! Do you know if all of the new Genesis have the spinning roller cap bearings? Do Scaletrains have the spinning roller bearings? Great review!

I was following you perfectly until you got confused! After that your video was way too confusing! Redo this but only include the necessary steps.

Nice, I'm starting my little layout next year DCC. It may be a bit hard but I'll get into it.

SUPER BEAUTIFUL MODEL,ONLY THE YELLOW DEFROSTERS ON THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE MISSING,AND THE CHAIN THAT CONNECTS THE LEVER OF THE MANUAL RELEASE TO THE FRONT HOOK,HE ALSO LACKS THE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE THE TROLLEYS AND THE 4 LADDERS

Nice looking locomotive n cool layout u have

Nice

Super. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

I don’t get caught up in the color debate. Locomotives get sun faded. They get dirty. Some get washed. Some don’t. Repainted units will be more vibrant than older units. Paint may not always be the exact same shade depending on which shop did the work or what the atmospheric conditions are at the time of paint. Etc. If the shade is off a tad by the time you weather it all will be well

Bro dump the scale trains, honestly I love athearn and I would support Athearn any day anywhere, love the video well done

Nice

Love union Pacific locomotives

Just throwing it out there, but I'd love a comparison between the scaletrains and the athearn UPs aside, whatever you notice besides the color difference.

Nice engine👍👍. I agree on the peco turnouts, that's what I use on my layout.

Nice sound & engine.💛✅

Hey

Awesome 👌
