Just the thing for blind trainspotters?

From the few video's I've seen of it on test, it does not sound very impressive at all.

I would imagine it will sound a bit like a 66 or a 67.

Bob on.

I don't know why but they sound identical, this seems to be no different.

An seeing its a GE build we know its going to sound just like a 66. Its only us brits who can build loco's that sound different to one another, hav'nt any of you seen the videos of yankie loco's on (youtube) they all sound the same no matter what varient they are.

a name?
 

In the tradition of gronk, skip, shed, chopper, tractor etc....


How about "gollum"? :eek:

What's "Gollum" done to deserve having something that ugly named after him?

Tumour.
Fits the bill?

A GE is not a GM - 66's and 67's were GM designs. Have a listen to an ALCO and tell me it sounds like a shed! And by the way, we dont build locomotives here any longer......

And the ugly sisters? They sound nothing like sheds or skips, which have GM power units in them and a silly silencer which produces a silly (and highly irritating) noise. This new thing, has a brand new design GE power unit, and sounds completely different. All I care about though, is that they are smooth riding, quiet in the cab, warm in winter, cool in summer and comfortable - everything a 66 isnt.;)
