[Seaboard1321]

the music is cool with the engine

[johnnyshilo]

Kill the Music ,its annoying , your showing the locomotive not your cd collection

[michaelclinite]

i like how bn had the amarican flag on the white part of the nose

[kidwithanuke]

how much did this cost?

[MrMuddshovel]

whats the decoder in it ?

[CSILCPD]

nice looks great

can you maybe make a video about the Athearn RTR RS3?

thank you in advance

[emdfan78]

I would like to start buy loco's , can anyone tell me which product is the best for the detail and $?

[Seaboard1321]

@emdfan78 Kato, Athearn, and Atlas are the best.

[CSX2665]

I Have to get this one.

[ddiddibk]

end of blue box kits = end of hobby for me. 20 dollars and up per car for no fun ready to run? OUTRAGEOUS!!!

[thetrainman407]

You are freaking out for no reason. The blue box kits are still around. Athearn still has 1000s of them avaliable. They will still be readily avaliable for another 10 to 20 years. If you want to get ready to run cars cheap just look around. The average price I pay for a ready to run athearn or atlas is about $8.50.

[yurysausage]

@thetrainman407 exactly i see them everywhere i wen to a trainshow once a guy had about a thousand of them he was trying to get rid of them

[jimmyp42002]

while the blueboxes are around. some town hobby shops have already gone through there supply's since they aren't getting restocked by athearn. My town has a hobby shop with like 2 blueboxes left, and the other has like 10, but the only reason those are there is because nobody wants to buy them.

[craftytiger]

MB Klien Rules! lol, that was funny in the beginning when you flashed all the images really fast. Bobby, all you have to do to the Athearn is add some weight. It'll be almost as good as a P2k, oh yeah, on the RTR units, you still pretty much need to replace the motor, but they're better than they used to be.

Tsunami will be in the new Athearns and I hope they don't make the mistake of alternating the ditch lights on western units as those roads don't use that feature. That's an eastern thing.

[LoneSniperSG]

If you're trying to show off the sound, why would you play music?

[JDeereGP]

I'm not sold on sound units either.. I have a massive collection of locomotives and are all mostly blue box Athearn with detail.. I'm not ready to spend the money on these yet..

[kh2nerd806]

Im gonna buy this one locomotive

i saw it in my hobby shop yesterday for 80$ and i wanna buy it, and also a Northfolk SOuthern engine and 9 freigh cars (since i have 2 already)

[knightbob81]

you know dcc/sound reatail from athearn in any color if its an SD60(I,M) i bought this engine in NS color from their site yesterday bought it for $200 with shipping it has the ditch lights also

[modeltrain9500]

i got one at MB klein in just DC...i dont like the MRC decoder.....sounds sorta wierd.

[PossessedDonutz]

im going to dcc. what kinda dcc controller for HO should i get

[1234567890bf2]

digitrax zephyr

[modeltrain9500]

definatly digitrax zephyr

[EsPeSD40T]

Im still not sold on any sound units!!! The speakers are too tiiiny sounding and the sounds DONT match road speeds! If Im pulling a heavy load on an HO train I want the run 8 sound at 15 MPH! I just dont like the sound units yet..im not impressed! 200 something dollars is a waste of money for these...

[NorfolkWestern34]

i already ordered one

[BobbySimone86]

One of my Proto 2000 SD60Ms can pull more than 3 Athearn SD60Ms that a friend of mine has. I agree with you BNSF that the sound in the Athearn ones is very poor. Also for what you pay for the Athearn ones there are still tons of details that are wrong (on the BN ones at least). I have seen new Proto 2000 SD60Ms at train shows for as low as $40.

[mrlrrconductor]

Sounds bell sounds like it should be around a cows neck! The horn is way off too, sure miss running those beasts!

[davajk]

can you make the ditchlights work on the Backmann DCC?

[BobbySimone86]

The Proto 2000 ones are still better.

[BNSF5608]

Athearns are amazing too. But the sound is shit. I'd rather put a Tsunami in it.

[abrownyo]

this store is right near my house i go there all the time!!

[labdur2010]

lol

[CNrailfan50]

what the song? ive herd it before.

[modeltrainstuffcom]

ayo technology

[aeroguy86]

@modeltrainstuffcom where can i get his version? without lyrics

[Seaboard1321]

@modeltrainstuffcom where did you find this song without the lyrics?

[MikeDelic14]

Great Video! im considering puchasing this loco!!

[Derailedtrain666]

[MikeDelic14]

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!?????????

[Derailedtrain666]

oh yeah!

[MikeDelic14]

Sik!!! u gotta make a video of one! ive been trying to find one, but so far no luck

[jimmyp42002]

[quote]i just bought 1!!! [quote]

LOL, can we rephrase that to "i bought one for you"?

[Derailedtrain666]

i meant got 1 lol...

[jimmyp42002]

btw mike, if your still looking for SD60M's unless your looking at somplace like a hobby store, athearn no longer makes them.

[ballparkfrank10]

yea get it, it would go good with ur other bn.

[BNSF5608]

And the horn and bell arent very prototype for an SD60M

[BNSF5608]

Cant hear sound with music on BTW

[modeltrainstuffcom]

Video with out music is up now...
