I love the crew sounds they add a layer of realism and authenticity to these models that other scales don’t offer. Pls continue your passion with love and happiness.

Eric- I enjoy your thorough reviews very much. That said, one minor suggestion for you to consider in future. JUST WHILE THE ENGINES ARE STATIONARY and you're reviewing the details with your green pointer, the addition of some supplementary light (eg. a working light on a tripod that painters use) to illuminate the front, sides and rear of the engines would enable the viewer to see the details better. Black die-cast steamers and diesels in dark colours such as Lionel's CN Ten Wheeler, UP FEF 4-8-4, NP Alco PA ABA are three that immediately come to mind where supplentary light would have been helpful. Just a thought.

Eric, it looks and sounds as close to the real thing, from my memory of seeing this engine back around 2010! when it stopped for the day in the town, I am from, although it had the UP coloured tender on it by itself when it was here the time I saw it! As well as the drivers box was open in the back of the locomotive engine, and the smoke defecters had been a last minute add on, based on what the engineer who was operating it at the time stated to me at that time! Although, I do like the fact that the defecters on this model of the 844 are not wavey as they are on the real locomotive engine! However, all of that aside it is a cool prototypical model replica of the real locomotive engine! Even the whistle sounds extremely close to the real deal! And I thought that I uploaded some of the video of the 844 when it was here then, onto KZbin, although, I have not been able to find it, in my uploads! It was still a great experience to see the 844 in person, and that they made a model scale version of it as well!

An excellent review, Eric! I have the Sunset/3rd Rail FEF-3 in the Overland colors and it is one of my favorite engines. Unfortunately Railsounds 4 lacks the correct whistle. The red safety light on mine only flashes when the engine is run in reverse. Interesting that, when the real 844 got back out on the high iron for some shakedown runs, the red safety light was not yet installed. Eric, any chance of you acquiring an NYC Niagara in the near future?

Not a complaint. Just a little factoid for your records. When you mentioned that the smoke deflectors can come off, that's actually a spot for realism. 844 was built without deflectors. They came later in the game.
