Life-Like Proto 2000 U28B Released

· BUY IT HERE

Life-Like has just released their Proto 2000 U28B with QSI sound and it lives up to the reputation for high-quality detail that they established with their previous releases. The see-through grillwork shows off interior details nicely, with dynamic brake resistance grids [thanks Nigel] visible just behind the rear grills. The fuel tank plumbing is also very well done, showing the attention to detail that the Proto 2000 line is known for. The loco also comes with optional detail parts including snowplows, window shades, and MU boxes.

The sound is of the same quality that we have come to expect from QSI, with ample volume and the variety of sounds available on other QSI-equipped diesels, such as horn, bell, coupler clank and release, airbrakes, break squeal, and many more. It uses the GE engine sound previously released on the Atlas Dash 8-40CW Gold, differing from the EMD, Alco, and Fairbanks Morse sounds that QSI has released.
