    Atlas, Blue Line, or Genesis??

    the sound in the blueline loco i have is great, sounds exactly like the real thing. im not sure if you can turn if off though. i have ran atlas and genesis locomotives together before and they ran pretty good together. on my coal trains i run bowser 100 ton hoppers. they seem to run the best for me.
