shooter,

I double-checked...All the GP's are EMD, but the e44 is made by General Electric.

I looked at the "blue ducks" and they are SD-20D's. It hit 104 F yesterday and thank God that I was in one of them...the air conditioning kept up. I'm going to get on a loaded coal train at 7am...

Now that you mention it, you are right on the ES44AC. It's 4400hp and made by GE. I like them, but they are tempermental sometimes. The only locomotive I don't care for is one that has a "table top" control stand. They are uncomfortable to operate.

There are model RR and then there are model RR. A friend sent me this link. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ACkmg3Y64_s?rel=0

Just jaw dropping.

That is amazing!
Can't wait to get my son a model RR... And play with it while he's asleep at night. Hehe.

Cheers.

Yea, there is a kid hidden in all of us.

I play with HO when I have the time. I also like building making my own scenery - buildings, etc...
