[STICKGUYMB]

When dat boy iz passin' anuthuh train on the other track, it prob'ly scrapes it, huh?

[tom618ful]

was it dcc instaled or not

[FECRWY]

First half of the captions....thats wut she said :P

I know, very childish of me....but otherwise great video hahaha

[w3i4l5s6o7n]

I have two, and they run fine on a 30" radius, but I ground the flanges off the inner wheels to get them to run properly.

[Frabas02081912]

Very nice engine, regards from NL

[celica825]

0:23 ITS GODZILLA!!!! RUN!

[atsf3780]

I know that sound clip! Its a Metra From Chicago leaving the station!

[hotrod347]

sorry but pennsy's "caterpillar" F unit was the biggest diesel locomotive built. just saying

[EndingHopeLive]

I hate to burst your bubble.... BUT the "caterpillar" locomotive you speak of isnt real... now if your speaking of the Baldwin Centipede then you just got the name wrong... AND, the Centennial diesel-electric locomotives are the largest diesel-electric locomotives ever built by anyone.

[EndingHopeLive]

The Centennial DDA40X is 98ft 5in in length, The Baldwin DR-12-8-1500/2 (Centipede) is 91ft 6in in length. Thus proving that the DDA40X is the longest diesel-electric locomotive ever built. If you wish to debate against this then Email me on my account... My family has over 100 years of personal experience in the railroad (great grandfather, grandfather, father, and me) so i know my american railroads...

[anskaru89]

Beautiful train, I want to have one like this! The biggest diesel locomotive ever built. Can it run in 22" radius curves?

[flyboy8492]

I'm not sure about the sides of the trucks. the horn doesnt match, but still a good vid. these things go for quite a price and I wish bachmann would make more.

[ChicagoMETRA]

Were do you get that

[CHICAGOunionpacific]

and one more thing dose the engine have sound it self?

[danisim9]

i have one, the sound is no installed, but there is a hole in the main frame for connectors, and the fuel tank has 2 grids for speakers, its dcc installed and sound ready :)

[Amtrak1194]

the n scale unit has dcc installed but im not sure bout sound wouldnt be surprised if it did

[CHICAGOunionpacific]

were did you get it i want one realy bad!

[poplock1963]

LOOK ON E-BAY FOR STARTERS.

[ariels36]

What couplers did you install on it? I have 3 of those engines but the hole on the kadee #5's is bigger than the screw this locos have.

[RCdash9]

The couplers are easy fit magnetic ones. They were put on the end of a stick that connects to a pocket.

[JBofBrisbane]

@ariels36 - In case you're still looking for a coupler solution, see if you can get Kadee's #212 "Talgo Truck Adapter" pack - something in that pack should adapt not only Kadees but Bachmann E-ZMate Mk 2 as well to your DDA40Xs.

[modeltrainsarecool]

What brand?

[RCdash9]

Bachmann Spectrum.

[F7Aengineer]

how much was she and how long ago u brought her

[RCdash9]

I've had this for a long time.

[F7Aengineer]

o okay cause im jus now startin to build a fleet of my models so far i have about 3 amtrak and a santa fe but i really like union pacific thanks tho

[AuburnRails]

So you got one rerailer to power up the whole track?

[RCdash9]

Yep. The whole inside part of the layout is powered by one rerailer.

[AuburnRails]

Oh ok so 3 different rerailers for each track eh?

[RCdash9]

The outside track for the passenger trains is powered by one separate rerailer. The freight tracks have switches, but the whole setup is powered by one rerailer controlling the tracks.

[AuburnRails]

Oh ok thought so thankyou just wanted to know.

[legosmypasion]

awesomeness!!

[SP3751]

bachmanns making them again!

[Espeelover]

how much was that?? it looks awesome.

[RCdash9]

Its probably between $150 or $200.

[Espeelover]

oh wow. how does it run?

[RCdash9]

It runs pretty good.

[pacbelt]

Is the sound coming from the Centennial, or is it a soundtrack added? Either way - awesome!

[RCdash9]

Its an added audio clip. Thanks.

[spoon671]

Is this LOCO come available with sounds? I am trying to get back into trains and I'd love to have one with sounds as well as lights.

[RCdash9]

Not that I know of.

[nickyd100194]

No one makes them with sound, but wat u can do is buy an MRC dcc sound decoder 8 pin for w/ sounds for sd70's. they hav similar sounds because they're both emd's.

[elr2141979]

i was about to ask the same thing

[modeltrains2008]

That UP train is AWESOME!

[a9323hj]

[RCdash9]
