Very nice. I just got two NS units from this run I they are excellent. I didn't realize til after I bought them that they updated the tooling for roller bearings, the fit and finish is among the best of all the models I have and seems a bit nicer than a unit I have from a previous run from a few years ago.
The horn isn’t the issue on Thunder cabs, it’s all the constant reverberation from the engine. Combined with a user unfriendly cab design, made the ACE an uncomfortable locomotive to run. I hope I never have to run one again.
Nice review, but I caught a few things that needed clarifying: 1. UP 1995 has a 2nd generation K5LLA horn, we saw it pass through Austin 2 weeks ago and its definitely a K5LLA: ua-cam.com/users/shortshN_78iJWSlI?si=FLit1Kx5M1kJuvR3 2. F6 lights up the numberboards, check your video again when you cover the lighting features 3. If you want the crew chatter to be more noticeable, you can crank up that value in Decoder Pro to 100 and it will be a lot louder. (factory default value = 60) Otherwise great looking model and very generous grading for the items you had an exception with. The model should have also come with additional brake lines and sanding hoses to apply right?

@@elvasjunctionreviews thank you, I agree it was a cool comment
As someone who has rode on all the UP heritage units, be sure to make the cab smell like a porta potty for more realism.
Lol
Of course!
I’ve run and pooped on every UP heritage locomotive. (When it was in trail of course.)

These models are so accurate, the conductor side window channel is stuffed with sunflower seed shells.
Nice looking up union Pacific locomotive

Very interesting!

Thanks for the info.
No, my locomotive did not come with additional parts in a bag of sorts.
