I love the Atlas GP-38-2 with NCE decoder installed. It doesn't have sound though. The Rapido GMD-1 just came out with sound and it is fantastic.
I will give this a read this weekend. Just swapped to DCC a couple months ago and have a decent sized n scale layout in Okotoks.

Did the NAR put town names on the GMD-1? Im too young to remember. I remember the GP9s and the SD38 had town names.
My layout is a freelance idea of northern Alberta/BC so it will fit in. I love collecting the rare locos that are unique to a handful of railways etc.
