GP 15

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I too purchased a Athearn Genesis GP15-1 Undecorated with sound version,and had the same problems,and had sound issues as well,the speaker was installed upside down(can you believe it?) So i sent it back to M.B.Klein for my money back.I still plan on purchasing the CSX version when it is released,although i have been considering a UP version,cause i have been considering modeling the L.A.area as opposed to the Detroit area.
Rail pictures archives has a listing of UP GP15-1's and it does specify which UP numbered loco was a MP,or CNW version.Their were also UP GP15-1's lettered UPY,what ever that means?I too really like this loco and have been awaiting it's arrival,but according to Athearns website,they have been delayed till late may of 2011. :cry:

actually, you can't install it upside down, i've tried. The sound on these GP15s is VERY quiet. I thought flipping it around would help, but it doesn't. it doesn't seem to fit right.

UPY means its a Yard locomotive, or something of that nature.
