    When I started my channel I did not choose a catchy name because I did not think that I would be a major model railroading video source one day, so I apologize for the strange name. My channel has a variety of info about Model Railroading in many scales, primarily HO scale. I try to respond to everyone's questions to help them along with their journey. Overall, I hope my relaxed yet descriptive approach to modeling will assist those new and old in this great hobby. - James

    I don't really model UP but I stumbled upon one of these at a hobby shop on vacation and was blown away and just had to have it - Now I have UP 9916 on my roster!

    Nice review. I know what you're saying. I come here from O Scale and our speakers are larger but the board is the same. So I must conclude that the speaker size is a big factor. Amazing how the competition in HO is making these models so great. Atlas, Rapido, Athearn, Scale Trains, BLI are all trying to beat the other guys' brains in. Wish we had that in O Scale.

    These look sweet! Coming from the Bay Area, I see them running up and down the peninsula corridor all the time. I'm glad these unique locomotives finally get a run in Athearn Genesis 2.0 fashion.

    Great review. I appreciate your honest assessment of the decoders. I have always enjoyed my Athearn engines, but after running decoders with capacitors (BLI, TCS). Really hard to go back to one without it.

    • @jlwii2000
      @jlwii2000  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I agree. It would be nice for them to have capacitors by now.

    They finally put lit number boards on their at least this model. Hopefully they do it on SD70's an 60's?? I don't understand how they put lit number boards on the dash 9's but didn't on the ES44AC/DC??

      He did a review on Athearn's 2020 release of the SD90MAC-H Phase 1 locomotive about 2-1/2 to 3 years ago. You can search his channel for the 📸 video. He may do another on the current release from Athearn. My back order was delivered to me in September. I placed my order January 2022 😂😂😂😂😂

    Is this locomotive in HO Scale or N Scale as the title doesn't make that clear James.

    Another great video 📸... Any chance you can do another video on Athearn's current release of Union Pacific SD90MAC-H Phase 1 locomotive? I've seen your video of the initial release Athearn put out in 2020... I'm not sure if there's much of a difference between the two release of this locomotive, but U.P. modelers like myself would like to know...

      It will only work on mth dcc locomotives in HO scale. If you have the dcs commander you can use some locos in dc

  • @averageguy7136
    @averageguy7136 Před 6 měsíci

    The SD59 is my favorite loco UP has. They use them mostly in Nor Cal for local service. Compared to an SD40N they are much cleaner and more fuel efficient and have better tractive effort. I hope UP rebuilds more SD60’s into these.
