Nice layout. I need to talk myself into getting the SP GP9 even thought I am a UP guy. Just ordered a UP Genesis GP9 last night. Concerning the ACe's, I have the MoPac and yes I did have to have the Ulrich light upgrade kit installed to make it look good, but I just got my UP Western Pacific ACe and the have upgraded it since the first ACe run. Much better

One question! Does the Athearn Union Pacific Have the same sound and Horn?
My clubs theme is Union Pacific and I dont much care for the Black Widow...

@MarkConductor775 These are not MRC though, these are Tsunami.

Thinking about getting one or two of these for my collection. As you can tell I'm a GP9 fanatic. How do you like the light package? Also, does the red EOT light on the top work?

To be honest, I don't and never have thought very highly of the MRC sounds. But, the detail and workmanship on this run looks pretty good. I do, however, think they had something better when they put Tsunami in those ACes, but the caveat to that was the lack of quality control..

I got mine in Thursday, SP #5629. It's a great engine. How much did you pay for yours? Mine was $212 (preorder w/ Caboose Hobbies)

what model trains do you have?
@MarkConductor775 Ya, Athearn really dropped the ball on the ACe's, I love the sounds on them, but they are too quiet, the motors are loud, and the quality on the engines were much to be desired, however these GP9s are AMAZING, they look awesome, run great, sound great, and just too much fun to run
