    The new ES44 is out, and it's a winner. It's based on the Ace chassis with some improvements. The power pickup has been improved, and the tank will keep it in place. The shell is a beauty, but the Handrails are average at best.

    These ES44AC's are beautiful and run very well. I modified them a bit by sanding off some of the coupler box and insides of the rear steps to allow them to pass through my tight 145mm curves. With that, they run like champs!

    No Mr. Moose. My layout is in the garage, and the car doors hit my layout. I can run 30 cars without clotheslining them.

    Cuz, I didn't think that they had earthquakes in Florida. That looked like it got hit with "The BIG One."

    At NTS in Orlando, a few of the children shook the modules, so there were a couple of *small* "Big One"s while we were there. :)
