I am very happy that both Lionel and MTH are finally doing the long awaited NS SD60E. I am definitely ordering one, but I'm not sure which variation. These are my choices.
1.
a. Lionel
b. MTH
2.
a. Veterans
b. First Responders
c. GoRail
At this point, I am leaning towards the MTH version of the Veterans locomotive because of much more friendly price, and I have a feeling the sounds will be a little more accurate than the generic EMD sounds Lionel is using on all of their recent 2nd generation EMD's. However, I have read some posts on the forum that the Lionel will be very road specific, which plays somewhat of a part in my decision, although I do feel since this is a new tooling for MTH, there's will be correct as well.
Any help in my decision?
