@stationmaster12 Sorry. I have not done any sound mods or upgrades. I don't think I will because how complicated the removal of the shell is. I have replaced the rear drive shaft twice and it was not fun haha.
@Flowmaster40Series Thanks, yeah i don't know where they are i guess people buy them all the time. If Athearn releases 1989 i would have MonsterRailroad put a Kato drive in it and try to put different handrails on. Then i would have a half-decent engine. Although MTH pwns Athearn buy a million.
@UP5140SD70M A Kato Drive would make that a good engine! But in MTH 1989s and certain others I forget which ones but they have bad gear sets in the trucks. They cause the motors to work too hard and cause the motors to over heat and short out. The gear sets have to be replaced. I have to do that to my 1989. It shorts out after a while of running.
Have you done the sound upgrade to the MTH loco? I'd like to see if you did and how it turned out. I'm considering doing the same. Thanks!
