And a new Kato F40 factory-equipped with DCC and sound:
I have many, many photos of F40s over the 20-plus year span of their lives. The ones with ditch lights are very, very late, and I'm not sure if all of them got ditch lights -- I have shots from 1995 without, but here's one from 1997:
I really like the sound on this one. Real F40s are loud, since the engine is always in run 8 for the HEP. This one's loud, too, but it also has the random compressor noise, air bleed, and so forth, so that even stopped, it's always doing something. Alive, like the real thing! Some guys like sound. I've been getting my feet wet very slowly, but I'm definitely deciding I like it. Haven't run the thing full volume for my wife yet, though.
