really like the Nickel Plate, think I will head over to Trainworld and see what other paint they have. thanks James.

They should start making gp9's again. They should especially remake nkp gp9 514

[@pokeyrailfanning]

Amazing review James! Keep going with the amazing reviews also one day can you do your locomotive collection and layout tour?

[@dispLock]

Another fantastic review sir. Looks well detailed. Nice job Walthers.

[@markiewodi3371]

Indeed indeed, those numberboards are pretty awesome looking on the NKP unit. They finally look three dimensional!

An excellent model of the emd sd9 locomotive, i might consider picking myself up 1 or 2 of these locos.

[@Drewtrainfan]

These 2 model trains will be fun running on my layout

Great review as usual. I'm just getting into the hobby. My favorite locos so far are Walthers Proto (I have a SW1200 Illinois Terminal which is superb, and a BN GP9 great too), then Atlas Gold (MP15DC and FM H16-44). I have an InterMountain IT SD40-2 on order. Doubt if I'll buy BLI again (SW7 with Paragon3).

I like the Nickel Plate Road version personally. Good review.

[@johnhoudyshell7551]

I love dcc and sound, but miss the good old days when companies like athearn would use metal railings.

[@seanthornton9969]

A question, Does this Walthers Proto EMD SD9 come in PRR also? I want to do a St. Louis/East St.Louis type of layout because it would include all these roads from the 30's through the early 60's. I prefer early diesels and Steam during the pre-crossover era to cross over era.

[@bradandfudge]

Is that a broken white vertical handrail on 539 by the steps? (3 minutes 35 secs)

[@willparsons32]

My vote goes to..... Nickel Plate RR!! Horn is loud (and very clear) enough to wake the neighbours... Two doors down! lol!!

[@jonnyspeed]

Just needs a keep alive and a Scale Sound Systems speaker to be complete.

[@ejefan1068]

Ej&e #603 is currently awaiting its debut in my collection.

[@graemeceballos265]

Does this have Loksound 5?

[@foxunitone]

Love the videos! Great stuff man. That flashing light is called a gyro-lite if I recall correctly. Mars light was usually a red one just above the gryo-light. Southern Pacific was known for gyro-lite and mars lights on their high-hoods. The old "SP light package".

[@GMan269]

Lighted Number Boards? You haven't mentioned it on two or three Walther's Proto SD9 reviews. What's the deal? Y N?

[@pacoperezabella]

what are best detailed proto or bli sd9´s? im understand the low detail of proto frontal pipes, 1 color and not painted connectors never!. Sorry my english its too short.

[@dmgraham69]

can't help but notice on your Logo video, the car on the road is going backwards.

[@evanveres7483]

David Graham the video is reversed

[@maverick13_bro87]

Can't wait for the sp bloody noses

[@4449John]

Just ordered both SD9E numbers a day ago from Walthers. DC is sold out, DCC is still available.

[@miguelangelgarrido7233]

muy buen video muchas gracias te mando un abrazo grande

[@jeremyvehring9259]

Overall a good review, but lacking on the historical background of Proto SD9 and the changes since its original release by Life-Like. Could be more informative about the different features each road had and why.
