How about a Walthers? I have got some GP60 in BNSF/ATSF paint scheme and they are excellent runners. Don't know about sound from Walthers. A new Walthers model is easy to identify by a LifeLike price multiplied by three :o

Athearn Genesis is always risky for me. The model look great and "may" run good but the lack of quality control from Athearn manufacturing partner in China makes it a gamble. Might be a great choice if your LHS has several in the shop and you can select your model.
For GP38 is Atlas my very first choice. They are excellent runners!
