    Lighting brightness is fixed on later samples and production units.

    still remember the first time I met you.. you calling me just outside of the train show, been cool watching your videos then and now look at you,
    I got one of each of the paints coming, can't wait, your excitement talking about it at ovr that time just had me chomping at the bit to get them

    Watching your video on the big screen TV here in the hotel, that locomotive is amazing! Also saw in Model Railroad News you have plans to do the C30/C36-7s which I'm super hyped about! When will the SD60F be available in hobby stores? Just subbed to your channel too, take care!

  • @northlanderdude

    That is bitchin' Ben!! Awesome stuff. I like the bottom truck detail and how it's not flat.
    I gotta get me one but now idk which one lol, that NAFTA one looks pretty sharp.

  • @josephmurrill3644
    @josephmurrill3644 Před 2 lety

    I like the way the traction motors are done on the underbody of the trucks. It would be nice if scale trains and Athearn Genesis 2.0 use that method.

    @timhanesworth2539 Před 2 lety

    Nice, like how you have the traction motors/trucks to a new level. Is there anything that can be done about the bleed through on the ditch lights without dimming the lights? If no, Make sure all lights have same brightness. I would rather have all lights the same brightness even if dim. I have one on order to use as pool power with BNSF engines.

    • @auroraminiatures
      @auroraminiatures  Před 2 lety +1

      We will fix the ditch lights and the head light brightness before production.

    GREAT MODEL! Can't wait to see it in person. By the way, do the fans actually spin or is it still being fine tuned?

    • @auroraminiatures
      @auroraminiatures  Před 2 lety +5

      The fans don't spin on the sample shown, but they are being worked on. Video: fb.watch/9gKhspOj96/

    Looks awesome. Being super picky but is there any way to reduce the light bleed on the ditch light housings. Other than that, top notch.

    Will you be releasing the 4 pane windshield safety cab as a separate item please? I need several to put on some of my locomotives. The only company that I know of, Detail Associates, hasn't done them for several years. Maybe you can release this cab, even as only as a kit. Good looking locomotive which fills a void in modelling Canadian Railroads.

    Love it. 1 thing tho. Would there be anyway not to have the number boards on with F8. As some times that comes in handy if your doing a yard view, other than that great model

    • @auroraminiatures

      All lighting functions can be remapped using an ESU LokProgrammer or DCC system.

      @@auroraminiatures I understand that but it seems like a haste since other manufacturers are doing the separate number board thing. Also some people don’t have the skills to use a lok programmer or have one.
