David, I have always liked my S-2 and the S-4 I have in unpainted form. Mine doesn't seem to be any louder than my SHS engines when run fairly fast. In slow speed they are a little louder, but in a good way I think. Until the SHS engines appeared it was my favorite switch engine.
Where did you manage to put the speaker in that little guy? I have thought about it several times.
