Well the question regarding the P42 quanundrum is

1] how much more detail is one gonna get on a GGD P42 compared to the MTH/Atlas O P42 with a msrp difference of $280.00 per unit.

A previous comparison would be Sunset vs. MTH premier ALCo PA-1's. Bodywise there was no difference that really stood out. It was the details such as simulated sealed beam headlight [ss] vs. Plastic lense with 3mm led insert [mth]. Trainline and air hose details on the pilot [ss]

And the big one. No swinging pilot and gap for Sunset models

2] the GGD will be using the ERR reverse and Railsounds GE Dash 9 sound file. Will the Atlas O units have DCS?

What's the delivery date for Atlas O units as their current locomotive delivery history for the past decade has been sketchy at best.

Sunset/GGD track record is once reservations close, 6-10 months til delivery.
