AML GP60 first release

 this page under construction, pending more pictures

Overview:

This was a special release at the behest of Robby at RLD Hobbies. This loco was delayed many years, and finally when it was seeming to be "soon", there was a hangup on the electronics. Accucraft apparently wanted a DCC option, and unfortunately hung their hat on interfacing to an ESU decoder as opposed to using the established standard that had several proven drop in decoders. This caused at least a year of delay.

So again in his wisdom, Robby negotiated for a run of locos that had no electronics. He got them almost a year before the general release (and the DCC option is STILL not available), and they were indeed bare bones, no speaker, no lights, no circuit boards, just wires to the trucks.

The following pictures are of Colin Camarillo's GP60, and the installation of a QSI Titan.

 Notice no motherboard, no wiring to the ditch lights, no speaker.

Notice in the cab, no cab light, no numberboard lights and no headlights.

There also was no speaker, no rear headlight, and no bracket and funnel for the smoke unit.
