Thanks for your review. You are correct in all your assessments. In addition to the excellent sound, the number board lighting is even better in person I have one sound and one non-sound unit and what struck me about both was the quality of the paint. Not just excellent demarcation but the richness of the color and finish is just perfect.
Thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching! Yeah I agree, this locomotive is very fascinating. I’d like to see the prototype that has been restored in operation someday.
When I was a kid in the 1960s, I remember the SP Krauss Maffei locos going through my NorCal farm town at speed. I so remember Diesel hydraulic system sound like a high pitched scream (as if the bearings were going out!! LOL). This isn't too bad, but the German Maybach diesels really did "scream" at speed while hauling a freight train. The 4K HP KMs were bought to go over Donner Pass, but they just couldn't do it, so they were used in the Central Valley to Bay Area instead. Nice video, you do great work!
That’s pretty cool! I didn’t know that they sounded like that in person. It’s a shame they weren’t successful would have been cool to see how technology would have evolved had they been successful. Thank you for watching I appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words too!
Uniquely awesome diesel locomotive model. That at first look, may not seem to be desirable. But, if you are a student/collector/modeler of train power. It wins you over, like so many other "ugly ducklings". And may even cause innovation designs to other, diesel locomotive designs. Would love to have one, for my collection, your lucky to have them. The back window looks like a camera lens.😆 Piko, doesn’t included, the air tank reservoirs for the top of the hood? Now for a Kennecott Copper Corp. GP39-2 "Vista cab" units and some Canfor/Englewood Logging Division SW1200RS's with dynamic brakes and unique spark arrestors. Looks like Bowser has the Alco C-415 void, in hand. Thank you, for the review.
I agree with you. There are many locomotives that have grown on me that I found unappealing. I think is model in particular is as-delivered and the tanks may have been added after delivery to SP. Those other unique engines you mentioned would great to see in HO scale. Thank you for watching!
Is it “Pea-co” or “Pie-co”? I have the DC model, and it is one of the best looking, detailed and running locomotives I have. Wishing they come out with the second rendition-the “hood” style.
I honestly don’t know how it’s pronounced. I gave it a shot haha. I agree that it’s great model! I haven’t seen a model of this caliber in a while. That would be great if they released the other type. My guess would be that they would release the D&RGW scheme next.
hi mate saw your review and i got my self the same loco sp 9002 i just now got it from germany when they tested it it worked fine on my z21 multi maus setup it shorts out any clues why ? If anyone knows whats the problem please comment
Heya, I’m not entirely sure. If you got it from Germany, is it a three rail engine? Some of these came in three rail configurations. It’s possible that you may have that one and you’re trying to run it on two rail track. Check underneath the model to see what you have. The track could be dirty too. Let me know if it is three rail or two rail. Sorry for the late reply.
Hello how are you? I want to share you This is a message from your loving God. God is a loving God and want to save us all. God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment. He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus. There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings) Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black. Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that. They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something. But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean. They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now. Thats a lie because: The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea. Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing. A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work. I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God you Will find True love. Read the Bible too please because its a perfect book. Thats how you know God Is real💕🙏. Read what Jesus told because its perfect talk💕🙏

Thank you for watching my video! I agree with you that the paint is amazing on these models. All in all this model a perfect.
Awesome locomotives and review! Always found this locomotive and the history of it fascinating and intriguing

Thank u. Just received mine today. Will fire it up tomorrow.
@@jeffreyrule8143 I hope you enjoy yours. These are by far some of the best HO scale locomotives I’ve seen! Thank you for watching!
Always liked the look of them !!
They are some unique locomotives! Thank you for watching Mike!

Piko, doesn’t included, the air tank reservoirs for the top of the hood?
Now for a Kennecott Copper Corp. GP39-2 "Vista cab" units and some Canfor/Englewood Logging Division SW1200RS's with dynamic brakes and unique spark arrestors.
Looks like Bowser has the Alco C-415 void, in hand.

Thanks- would imagine the Rio Grande scheme would come first.
German here. It’s a German company and it’s pronounced like the english word „peak“ with an o
So Peak-o
@@TobiasL1000 Thank you for explaining that to us.
@@TobiasL1000 Thanks Tobias - interesting that the pronunciation is the same as the UK model railroad company, Peko ….
Joe, what kind of controller system do you use and have you had any experience with the Ring Engineering, RailPro controller system?
I use a Digitrax DCS-52 system. I like it a lot. I don’t have an experience with this other systems.

having trouble with there sound decoder, wish they just used Tsunami or lok sound....
@@dm6365dm Call Piko America. I’m sure they would be happy to help you.
Just curious, is there a way to adjust the notching, I noticed on mine at speed step 30 it’s only gone up 2 notches. Thanks.
I don’t know exactly, but I noticed mine does the same. It might be prototypical since they are diesel hydraulic.
@@modelrailroadingthesouthwest didn’t think of that, might just be the way it works. Thanks.
