GEC's Layout Progress

[Green_Elite_Cab]

no pictures for now, but my Conrail GP15-1 just arrived, sound and everything included. unfortuneately, it came beaten up in the package (got it from Factory Direct Trains). the roof was pushed into the body shell. I think this might have been a problem at Athearn, but whatever. The sides appeared to be alittle bowed out, but they seem to have straightened alittle, and its really not to noticeable (and i'm not just justifying it to myself). The only thing i worry about is that it sounds very quiet (even at max volume, my Atlas GP40-2 can overpower it, and its not even at it's top volume), and the speaker is right under where the roof piece is. i haven't been able to remove the shell, so i can't get a look in there.

I might try to return it, but we'll see.
