Default Fox Valley GP60M coming

Just a quick note., They are coming likely by the end of the year. These are samples and I also saw the tank and trucks and all looks really good. They will have the same plug in decoder installation as well.
Taken today at Grand Rapids.

Cool

Alright Mr.Fifer.
Just where the heck are you located at NTS,I have my Z layout on the river side of the room.If I had known you were there I would have stopped by and introduced myself.

By the way those GP60s are definately awesome looking. Your pics look great but they are even better in person.By the way I asked and was told depending on how well these sell there may be regular cab GP60s in the future.

I just got my first FVM Gevo yesterday and its nice. Installed a Digitrax D125In and works smooth. But couldn't help notice the Kato box and the Kato mechanism inside. Many would claim that all you need do is remove the radiator panel on top to install the decoder. Unless you have tiny bony fingers this a no go. You HAVE to remove the shell which is no big deal but its still a 2-5 min. install.

I would also like to add that if they could put in a space for a speaker like they did in the Hiawatha all you have to do is add the ESU Loksound of your choice and add a speaker! Boom done!
