Correct. That has been so for, what,,,,,,maybe 75 years in the 2-Rail SCALE diesel locomotive models?

Based on the schematic in the latest Lionel catalog, Lionel uses the same "China Drive" set up employed by Atlas?

As does MTH and even Weaver, if I remember.

Then 3rd Rail puts the speaker inside the body, since the drive shaft is in the fuel tank?

Yes. Thus the sound "comes out of the body", pretty much like a real diesel unit, instead of the sound coming out from the bottom side of the fuel tank.

How does that effect, if at all, the sound quality?

I guess you will just have to experience the Sunset/3rd Rail diesel models to believe it.

Looks like 3rd rail is not offering any dummy B units, right?

Not to my knowledge.

thanks for the info, very interesting
