    An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.

    Love SDs......and my 2 favorite color schemes/lines
  • @ReadingAreaRailfan
    If you hit F22 then hit the horn button, you can change the sound to a 3 chime Nathan M3 horn.

    SD7 roof is NOT more streamlined, roof difference is because the SD9 CB&Q model has dynamic brakes while the BN SD7 model does not. Both prototypes were available with or without DB.

    Is the BN 6004 a production sample? If so, then BLI committed another big BN error. The side sills should be painted green, not black.

    It would appear, you're gettin the right sound from the wrong horn.

    I hate to say this, and it breaks my heart to say it, but the bachmann N scale SD9 sounds 100 % more like a real SD9 than these BLI units do and at a lot less money. I love BLI locos and have several but their 1st Generation EMD units all lack the roots blower whine so characteristic of the early GM/EMD engines and that is severely disappointing. I used to sit by the tracks in my home town and watch the Old L&N Geeps switch the small industries in town just to hear that blower whine as they throttled the engines. Please BLI, more realistic EMD 567 engine sounds in all the old EMD engines
