James, you are a godsend to those of us who haven't had the time or space to get fully set up in the hobby due to health and other demands! That applies to your gift to us in your service to the country as well. My test bench even looks like a small subset of your layout which is exactly along the lines of what I want to have going forward. Thanks for being there. I don't know how you could be any better!

I wish your reviews had a part in them where the sound was turned off and we get to hear how loud the locomotive is at full speed minus the bells and whistles (I don't always operate with the sound turned on cause it gives me a headache after a while). Shame there are no ground lights at this price point. I wonder if the Tsunami chip has outputs for additional lighting? (doubt it).

It's based on tooling. The P42 tooling simply didn't have ground lights in it. It has nothing to do with the sound decoder.

Given the ridiculous amount Athearn is charging for these, I would’ve hoped for see thru grills throughout. But alas, these are the same bluebox shells with a few added details. Another overpriced swing and a miss.
