I have owned many original LGB locomotives, both steam and electric over several decades, but until more recently never an American diesel. Several of these locos had digital sound systems that were very impressive and reliable. Some months ago I acquired the limited edition (500) 30th Anniversary Baltimore and Ohio A-B-A F-7 diesel set in like new, unrun condition for a reasonable price ($1200). These engines include digital sounds of actual engines and two Buehler motors in each A unit. The B unit has twin amplifiers which are cable connected to each speaker equipped A unit for a stereo effect. Each A cab has interior details, lighting, and one engineer figure in the lead unit. There are numerous brass hand rails plus lighted number boards and class lights. Beautiful and accurate B&O livery and lettering. I am really not a diesel fan but these classic F style diesels are very pleasing. They run smooth and sound great!
