    Yep, Don, glad you've found it...and you are probably better off naming these as Ged suggested, I kept the ET44C4 designation --- gave me an excuse to make up an ORTS standard diesel engine for the model and do some research...AFAIK, we really don't have a true model of the ET44C4 if you accept what the model makers among are posting...not being a modeler...I do.

    What is the physical locomotive body difference between the standard ET44AC and the ET44C4 -- the only thing I could find is that the trucks would be different.
    Cheers, Gerry

      Honestly surprised this hasn't been attempted yet. Though this skin pack came out before the mullan expansion or even mullan itself came out, so can't blame them too much.

      It wouldn't hurt to put that F/A onto new models, since pretty much all the ET44s in the library outside of the UP ones really can't be used anymore since the mactier set is gone...

        I would add the ES44ACH (3300-series) and ET44ACH (3650-3674). Those units have been delivered from Wabtec to BNSF as of earlier this fall.
