Wow!

Just noticed that this thread has gained a new life after 6 months LOL.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying they shouldn't do new tooling for an ACS-64 or an AEM-7.  Those would great too.

On the subject that the Genesis has been done already by other manufacturers so there doesn't need to be another, why then do all the manufacturers feel the need to keep repeating F3's, etc. with Union Pacific and Santa Fe Warbonnet colors?

Funny that you mention the revival - I happened to meet a Genesis engineer at my local hobby shop. He was working with the tech of his HO engines that have a special paint job, but don't have room for the LokSound system, which has the engine sounds perfect, according to a guy that rides in one for living.

So, Williams has Phase iV and Phase V engines. MTH has a new set of Phase IV cars on the way for this year. So, I was tempted to build that train and put ERR stuff in the engine. It would be missing the distinctive start-up , prime mover and shut down sounds, but it would look correct and be a nice runner.

Now, how can I get a LokSound module to work with EER?
