I just wanted to get some feedback from those of you who own Intermountain locomotive products or have had any experience with them. I am thinking of purchasing a few of their new GEVO series (GE ES44AC) locomotives and was wondering how they compare to the other manufactures (i.e. MTH, Athearn, KATO) as far as detail and function? One of the selling points was that they come equiped with the Soundtraxx Tsunami sound. They are reasonably priced and they appear to look pretty good on paper.
I am like you and I am waiting on the GEVOs. I don’t own any Intermountain locos, but I do have some of their cars.
I have 3 Intermountian F units , 2 in Nscale and 1 in HO , and I love them , they are so great a looking engines and run fantastic. the HO is DCC though not with sound and it preforms super. When the time is right i will get more,
I’ve heard that Intermountain diesels are excellent, and the GEVO should be no exception.
Thanks guys, Thats great news to hear that they are good quality. From the looks of things Intermountain normally focuses on F series type of locos and are expanding into the modern day stuff. If you check their website it has a whole slew of new stuff ranging from locos to freight cars that look fantastic. Looks like an early Christmas for me.
