So I bought an Athearn Genesis sd75i off ebay. Used. Numbered 5701 for CN. The details on it are nice, but the sound is waaaay off. The decoder booklet that came with it says it is a DH165A0. So I ordered a soundtraxx tsunami decoder to replace it. Now we wait! |

Tsunami sound installed. Looking at ordering the detail package for this from details west. Anyone else use the kit?

Yep, I have used 2, one for and SD 70 and the other for a 75. Includes most of what is required.

I can't wait to see your progress. There is one in my to-do pile too. As an engineer, these CN SD70/75 are favorite units to run.

Its a tough go as we all know too well. Its been so long I forget what I have, which makes unboxing them fun lol... but I digress.
My to do pile consists of finishing my GP9rm (still being assembled, needs a donor unit for frame and trucks), detailing my railink units (1401 f unit and 2002/3873 gp38) and this project. I should knock this one off first since it doesn't need as much work as the others. Progress to follow! (famous words)
Spike these are definitely favourites of mine too. Lots of power, load quickly and quiet, but terrible in the rain!
