Awesome locomotives and review! Always found this locomotive and the history of it fascinating and intriguing

When I was a kid in the 1960s, I remember the SP Krauss Maffei locos going through my NorCal farm town at speed. I so remember Diesel hydraulic system sound like a high pitched scream (as if the bearings were going out!! LOL). This isn't too bad, but the German Maybach diesels really did "scream" at speed while hauling a freight train. The 4K HP KMs were bought to go over Donner Pass, but they just couldn't do it, so they were used in the Central Valley to Bay Area instead. Nice video, you do great work!

Always liked the look of them !!

Just curious, is there a way to adjust the notching, I noticed on mine at speed step 30 it’s only gone up 2 notches. Thanks.

Is it “Pea-co” or “Pie-co”? I have the DC model, and it is one of the best looking, detailed and running locomotives I have. Wishing they come out with the second rendition-the “hood” style.

Joe, what kind of controller system do you use and have you had any experience with the Ring Engineering, RailPro controller system?

Thanks for your review. You are correct in all your assessments. In addition to the excellent sound, the number board lighting is even better in person

Uniquely awesome diesel locomotive model. That at first look, may not seem to be desirable. But, if you are a student/collector/modeler of train power. It wins you over, like so many other "ugly ducklings".
