    3233 IS STILL Getting Worked on but I've been Pushing On the Other Units

    The Sound Folders with the ES44_Horn Wav File is Geting Replaced with Horns i've Think Would Sound Better

          Not to rain on the parade, but the CN units that you are trying to replicate have the "whaleback" hood area around the exhaust stack, so your repaints will not be prototypical if the actual unit is a "whaleback."

                He is referring to the exhaust stack area. The first build of the ET44AC's had the square body style exhaust housing, while the later builds had the more round off housing that matches the radiator section.

                Nash did an ET44AC model for UP that I believe is what would better fit the CN units, I think. I am not sure about the front nose and door location though.. I don't do much outside of the GP and SD spartan cab style locomotives.. haha

                  More info: the original hood design of the ET44 was squared off in the exhaust stack area--there are a lot of those early ET44s running around. However, CSX, as I recall, had issues with those "square hood" units clearing coal loading chutes. So, GE redesigned that exhaust area of the hood to a more rounded design for better clearance. The "square hood" locos are no longer produced. Because of railroad numbering schemes and locomotive delivery schedules, "square" and "whaleback" locos may be sprinkled throughout a locomotive numbering sequence of a particular railroad. CN is no exception. My advice to any repainter is to carefully examine photos of actual locomotives by locomotive number to determine if the loco is a "whaleback" or not. If you look carefully at the phot of your prototype loco that you based your repaint on, you will see that the prototype (CN3233) is, indeed, a "whaleback" unit. A part of the actual exhaust stack protrudes from the rounded whaleback hood.
