    As a model railroaded since the 1960s I just want to tell you that you are doing very good work
    You rank with other standard bearers in this great hobby

    If I’m not mistaking, the horn is based off an original Union Pacific Nathan Airchime P5A. I can tell based on one the sound of it, and two, the configuration of the horn. Awesome locomotive!

    I do believe that horns on engines are road specific as well, but that is a nice horn on a beaut of an engine. Great review as always

  • @F-Man

    That *is* a great horn - geez! Also, love the engine sounds, nice turbocharger spool sound.

  • @paulm.gilbert1096
    @paulm.gilbert1096 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Eric, all that smoke coming out of the exhaust stack reminded me of a SD45 with A bad turbocharger.Really nice, I like it. Like the way Lionel now keeps the front end from turning with the trucks, It's A nice touch, much more realistic.

    You're probably aware that an SD45-2, one of a dozen bough by Erie-lackawanna in 1972, has been repainted in its original EL colors and remains in service today along with a few of its sister units that are in the Norfolk Southern scheme. It's number 1700 and can be found on U Tube and the internet if you would like to see pictures. It was nice of NS to do that. The 46 year old locomotive has survived through EL, Conrail and now NS in its EL colors.

  • @TheCrewChief374
    @TheCrewChief374 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It is funny, while you were blowing the horn. There was a train coming through town, and it sounded dead on to me. Due mostly to the fact, that they were in time, as well as the sound came across as dead on in my perspective! Furthermore I believe they still use this style engine in my area of the country!

  • @nathanielcruz6675

    The top 4 railroads that had the most orders of the SD45 is the Southern Pacific (317 units), the Pennsylvania Railroad (130 units), the Santa Fe (125 units), and Norfolk & Western (115 units).

  • @SCL7500
    @SCL7500 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lol, it's the same exact horn from the Southern Pacific SD40T-2 GATX Tank Train set you reviewed a few years back! That horn is definitely a whole lot better than that awful generic screeching horn that we all know Lionel was putting out in almost all of their Legacy Railsounds equipped diesels. The detail on this unit is really good BTW.

      @LJRailfan-Gamer_07. ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ALL-bj7mj21 was originally numbered 3621 when shopped out in the 1968. But 10 years later, it will be remembered to simply number 21 in 1978 to make way for UP’s 1978-79 batch of SD40-2’s. The 21 was decommissioned in July 1985 and sold for scrap.

    Wow Eric that's amazing on how you got that big locomotive Union Pacific railroad SD45 gently coupled up to some freight cars and man I sure would like to see Matthew do the same with union pacific railroad SD-45 #48 when he has a job working on the union pacific railroad SD-45 #48 too

    I thought the marker lights on the EMD SD45 was called class lights
    I might be mistaken

    • @rydot
      @rydot 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep. The two lights on the front and rear of freight locomotives are called class lights, and they were fitted with colored lenses to denote the class or type of train for the purposes of timetable & train order authority: Class lights off = regular timetable scheduled train; Green class lights = timetable scheduled train with a section following; White = 'Extra' train not listed in the timetable; Red = rear of train marker (rarely used)

  • @geofftech
    @geofftech 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think Lionel uses the same engine sound file for all of their EMD engines. This sounds just like my NS Go Rail SD60E that would have a 710G3 in real life.

  • @BalticFilms144
    @BalticFilms144 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The engine overall looks well detailed, sounds great, and runs great!
    One thing I noticed Lionel likes to do with turbo-charged EMD locomotives, is use the same primemover sound file of an EMD 16-710-G3A, which were used in the real and Legacy SD60s. It would be nice if they created a new sound file to sound like an EMD 645 like what the SD45s really had.

  • @frootloops1696
    @frootloops1696 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Pretty cool engine I must say.

    Eric....first time viewer.
    Hey,Im in food marketing.
    This is the best locomotive/ train review Ive ever seen.
    Matter of fact,dont know where you live but you oughta contact MTH in Baltimore on doing this for them if Lionel is still comatose.
    Honestly,from a marketing perspective,toy train manufacturers are the worst marketers.
    None of them do enough to reach the young.
    The best Lionel ever did was have Johnny Cash do a TV commercial with him singing and a freight train running.
    But that didnt last long.
    The young dont read catalogues,tha ts old tyme thinking,they want noise and action.

    Hey, Eric. Do you think you’d be interested in a RailKing MTH Grand Trunk Western GP-9 Diesel Engine? I have one of my own, but I’m not sure where and if you’d be able to find one for yourself. I think it would be an awesome edition to your set. It’s a 3-Rail O-Scale in case you’re wondering. I have two. One is powered which is 4543 and the other is non-powered which is 4540.
