I got my Blackie 463 in April after giving up on MMI. I love the sound system on this thing. The fireman opening the door and throwing in a few scoops. The pops opening and the sounds of the air pump and injectors. It also sounds great tackling the grade on my layout. It reminds me of the days when I used to listen to the 463 tackle Cumbres. Hopefully those days will be here again soon. To my ears 463 is the best sounding engine heading up the hill!
