I saw that these were released this week, evidently dealers have them in stock, and I must have missed or glanced over them in the past catalogs...there's a couple of roadnames that caught my attention. Budget is well broken for the year, and credit cards are still smoking! The FA-2's were a beefier diesel, ostensibly made in the 1950s when more power was needed for freight hauling. Also the "superbass" add-on b unit caught my attention; it is unpowered and apparently designed for sound effects; has anyone tried this as well?

Here's my NYC units, both a units powered and super bass b
Truthfully, I'm a bit disappointed in all the "superbass" units. They still only have a single 40mm speaker, I'd have expected them to spend a little more money on audio given that's their whole purpose in life! They use the same speaker as is in most other sound equipped diesels.

Paul, I have the CP Legacy FA-2s from 2020 and they are great engines. The SuperBass is unpowered, but it does have smoke. If CP appeals to you send me an email.
Thanks Tom for the video clip. Brad, thanks for the offer but if I had the funds I'd likely go for the Halloween fantasy set.

Yeah if they had offered the PRR version is single stripe DGLE, I would have bought a set.
I have a pair of tmcc dark green,both powered and sound.
Anyone have the Halloween FA-2s? Am wondering if they have a unique sound set, or if it's a repeat of the previous Legacy Halloween sounds.
There was a video of them on Lionel FB page
