    Fuel tank on an electric unit? I'm not knowledgeable about electric equipment but I believe that's a battery box.

    6:19 for the price I would expect the fit and finish to be better. I’d return in with that gap between the body and frame.

    Nice review I believe most of those engines are retired now sadly

    • @wolfgang548
      @wolfgang548 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have 2 of the NJT ALP44's from the earlier run years ago. Those little units generated 7,000 horsepower. That's more than the UP DDA40X which generated 6,600 horsepower if I'm correct. It is sad they retired them. I recently read they have more ALP45DP's coming and the GP40PH-2's are going next. The Metro North now has the F40PH-2CAT's and were rebuilt into F40PH-3C's. I hope Atlas does the PL42AC to go along with their multilevel cars.

      The ALP-46 can be easily done by Atlas. It shares many of the same components with the ALP-45DP

    Why didn't ATLAS DO THE 2ND RUN WITH DITCH LITES, THEY SHOULD OF MADE IT MORE ACCURATE, SAME FOR THE ALP44, DITCH LIGHTS, WHY NOT??

    • @IsaacAmadeo
      @IsaacAmadeo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      bcuz they would have had to retool the shells, this isnt like a real engine where you just cut a hole and add the ditch lights

    I ALWAYS wondered, why didn't the 2nd AEM7 / ALP 44 LOCOMOTIVES INCLUDE THE DITCH LIGHTS ???

    • @JoeKrazy
      @JoeKrazy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not too mad about the ALP-44 not having ditch lights because I always thought they didn't have any and I couldn't see them but the AEM-7 is a different story. If I can't somehow manually put ditch lights on it, then I'm not buying it because the ditch lights give it a good look.

      Nothere27 Weird? Maybe because Loksound is significantly better?

    • @hohobbyist1098
      @hohobbyist1098 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely. It seems like Athearn is the only one with the Tsunami. Well, Bachmann uses sound value which is Soundtraxx but most definitely not Tsunami.

    Lovely model , Atlas are right up there with the best like MTH and Broadway Ltd at a price point more wallet friendly as a rule. But I do wish they'd change their packaging to the one used by Broadway and others , which is more eco and user friendly.
