i have two questions 1. does the loco have ditch lights on both ends and 2. how many cars can she pull buy herself

[v12aston]

The model does not have ditch lights on both sides. It only has ditch lights on the side of the high short hood. According to Model Railroader Magazine the model can pull 35 HO freight cars.

Could you please make a few more videos of this engine? Or one in it running long-hood forward as well as short hood forward? I'd like to see a longer video of it too, since I may buy one. Your videos help me decide which model to buy, so I appreciate your work. Thanks, -Drayton

Thanks for the comments!!! I could make a few more videos of my SD40-2. I will have to try to find some time to make a new video of this model. I would say expect one in the next week, or about a week before Christmas as my schedule is pretty busy right now. I hope I can be of some help to you in your decision. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Dude I LOVE your videos! Best Model Railroad videos on the web! Glad to be a friend and a subscriber! I wan't to buy a SD40-2 high hood for Christmas, I think this video sold me! Model RR companies should ask you to professionally tape their models for advertising. Great videos. I suggest you get them copywrited so people won't steal your work!

I have the Southern #3209 version -- pretty awesome machine!

[v12aston]

Yeah, it's great!!

[diburning]

sweet! BLI finally got the sounds right on the Paragon 2! I bought the blueline version and I hated the sounds because it sounded like a turbo 567 instead of a 645.

They got it right this time!

[bravosixxx]

nice vid, have you ever thought of doing any street running shots? idk that'd proly look real cool with your setup

[v12aston]

Thanks for the comment! Funny you'd mention that, I was just thinking about doing that yesterday. I think my next video will feature some street running.

[v12aston]

[prorobo]

Wicked awesome video! It's always nice to see some lethargic freight action every once in awhile! What decoder are you running in that SD40? It sounds fantastic!

[v12aston]

Thanks!! It is the new Paragon 2 line of Broadway Limited models, so I guess it's a Broadway Limited decoder.
