Sound equipped loco's in HO scale are a relatively new on the scene (at least affordable ones anyhow). The larger scales have enjoyed this feature for some time now. I myself don't have a large fleet of sound equipped locos - actually at the moment I have one diesel and one steam that are so equipped. There are just not alot of models right now that I ma interested in purchasing ( Read - waiting for Maine Central units). That being said, I have 3 Intermountain U18B sound equipped locos reserved through my local dealer. The latest is that they will be shipped sometime next spring. Atlas has also recently released another run of GP38/40's that are now sound equipped, so I just have to wait for them to do another run of GP38's in Maine Central. On another note, I have recently started to scenic an area that I plan on putting a pond in. I have to hit the books/ Internet, to ensure I get some good ideas. I will post some pics when I have completed the area - till then have a peek at a short Video clip of my sound equipped diesel leading a local interchange freight. Till next time....

Wayne, Don't wait for GP38's with sound to come out in MEC. Buy one with sound and swap the shell for your MEC GP38 shell.
That's my plan and I am sticking to it !!
Great blog and cool video. I have to figure out how to do that !

GP38's are a strange beast, aren't they? Whenever I see them they look so strange compared to SD40-2's - I guess I'm just more familiar with the latter and the 38's just look a bit anaemic..
