PCM Y6b's

ED:

The dull yellow headlight was very, very dispointing also.  As you stated the sound is barely acceptable, I agree.  Also what is withe the headlight that everytime you turn it off and back on again, the sould reboots?

  So I got mine yesterday, and put it on the programming track today.

  Comments:  Valve gear is not acceptable.  If Proto can put acceptable valve 
  gear on the Y-3s, why can't these folks put it on the Y-6b?  And Broadway on 
  the N&W A, for that matter?
                       Sound is barely acceptable; the exhaust sound is 
  confusing to say the least.  Other sounds are OK; a nice touch is the splash 
  of water from the injector overflow after the injector shuts off.
                       Programming is OK.
                       Power - not acceptable.  My Broadway 1218 will shove 
  the Y-6b right off the test track without slipping a driver (I haven't 
  tested it against my Y-3s).  The Y-6b will not budge the A if the A 
  is not under power.
                       Tender is heavy all right, but I guess that's because 
  of the big speaker.
