I guess I just HAD to bring one home from the all scale train show.

All clean and shiny.

NTCGRR · Feb 10, 2013

Yes , and right at the cab top is a mt lion.. Runs great as RJ has said. Its much lighter than my older one .
Have always wanted a set of MRLs.

I ran a new SD45 with a 2004 SD45 and the new one starts moving a lot slower than the 2004 one does.

Dick413 · Feb 12, 2013

Thanks Robby do you think its because of the motor or gearing or because its lighter?
Thanks Dick, on the edge to get one.

That new engine is awful clean. Are you sure you didn't just borrow it.[/b]

NTCGRR · Feb 15, 2013

No, It has the new Kadees on it. But I HAVE got to stop buying, I need alot of retaining wall stones for the canyon area.

Robby, not surprised...

They changed the metal in the wheels.

Screwed up the socket..

So a different supplier for the motors (a la GP40) is definitely possible.

Also why did they rework the main board with the socket? Perhaps some electrical malfeasance as well as the socket snafu.

Well I added the old style weights to the loco and made no difference on the start up. Pulls good tho. Marty you might want to add the weights as the loco only comes with 14 flat steel weights. Later RJD
