Thanks for the review Shawn... I ordered the Wisconsin Central SD45 last week and Im expecting it on Thursday... I ran a real WC SD45 here in CA on an Auto train out of Milpitas.... I thought it was cool as I grew up in Milwaukee WI and would see the Milwaukee Rd back in the 70's and years later the Wisconsin Central units.. I did pay $170 from MTS as they had a 15% off deal... it is non-sound though.... good stuff, thankyou! DD 😜

I wanted to see if your SD45 beacon was also "red" like mine. In daylight it seems like the dome is orange-yellow, giving the reddish than expected appearance. Fairly discouraged with some of the more rudimentary things with the lights, a lot of bleed in the rear between the number boards to rear lights and vise versa. Not as bad on the front. It runs well and sounds good. Overall the shell is nice.... it just feels a bit ho-hum for the $$$. Walthers did such a nice job with the FP7s, I was anticipating the same with this loco... I believe I can fix the undershell crosslight bleed issues with some UHU Tac and may touch up the most offending bleed numberboard bleed with a super fine black paint pen...
