Guys,
Here's the link to my review of the Athearn Genesis BNSF SD75I with Tsunami sound. The engine looks good and performs well. It's not perfect, but then again no models are, but I think Athearn did a pretty good job on this one. On the sound; sound is rather a personal thing so I'll let you judge for yourself whether it sounds good to you or not. Does it sound like an actual SD75I when your standing 30-50 feet away from one--no. But I do prefer running models that have sound and I just turn the volume way down to help improve the sound some--at least to my ears. Anyway, you can check out my review and judge for yourself at the link below.
Cheers,
Kevin

Great video.
I like the engine sounds.
The horn sounds off, but so do almost all HO horns I hear.

Kevin,
Good review, nice and quiet except for the diesel sounds, as it should be. I liked your comparison between the SD75M and SD75I; those were good things to know. Also, your layout is looking good! Loved the bridge scene and overall scenery.
Keep doing the reviews with more updated shots of the layout. One more thing: Is that a ditch light out on the SD75M? What a surprise!

Larry, I haven't seen the Fox Valley GP60Ms in person yet so I'm not sure. I might given how good they look in pictures.
