HI all am new to this site!

have a Q about the SD70M and SD75I Genesis engine I have two different kind one is a BNSF and other is a BUILD AMEARICAN with a flag on sides.

I was told that both engines can be run together on same track… I am not so sure, but I find those Genesis engines are a very fine engines, I have not try them out but the BNSF was my first one 3 year ago kind getting hard to find and buy!!

I just moved to different city so my lay out had been take apart, have not put together yet… just got new Build Amearican genesis engine.

anyone have input about SD70M and SD75I is there different in them?

could’t wait get my lay out set up again!

A simple test will answer your question.Being almost similar engines,it is probable that they can in fact be run together.What you can do is run them on the same track with some distance between them then throttle up.If they do accelerate and roll with little speed difference,with little change in the separating distance over a reasonable length of track,they can indeed run together.My opinion is that the slightly faster one should run ahead of the other one though.

Steve;

No problem with running them together.
