CANCER SURVIVER Uncataloged ES44AC Available now for purchase according to MTH Website

I'll say it...that thing is pretty ugly...regardless of the cause it serves.

  Ugly maybe ? No more ugly then some of the other engines I've seen lately.

  We run a RMT Pink breast cancer awareness train on the High Plains 3 Railers modular layout. Women flock around the layout to see it and ignore the Big Boys,Hudsons and everything else we are running.

   I would not mind owning one of these. It's for a good cause.

My wife saw this train at the MTH TCA booth today.  She loved it and insisted that I get one.

Need I say more !

I bought one.  I think it will display very nicely next to my VL gevo hybrid and Westinghouse loco's. Just need the Atlas Wisconsin & Southern cancer boxcar to run with it!

This purchase is a no-brainer.  Placing an order on Monday!  Just sorry I missed seeing it at the MTH booth on Thursday.    I guess that's what happens when we try to cram everything into one day at York.

Have lost a family member to breat cancer at the age of 41 I had to get 2. absolute no brainer. 

Have to give credit to MTH for donating and always trying to raise money for a great cause. 

 

Great Job Mike, Rich, Andy And the entire MTH team!

I have asked our club president if we can get one for the modular layout.

What a great idea! I may consider one since I have lost several family members to cancer.

so how do i order one?  Any forum sponsors have them for order?

I just called my lhs, they said this unit will sell out fast.

My wife's mom died of breast cancer.

My mom has beaten cancer three times.

No brainer !!

I usually don't go for non-prototypical trains of any type but this one is special. I may order it.

So is cancer.

 

Having a relative who succumbed after a valiant fight, I bought one.

I don't get it.   Why will it "sell out?"  If it is popular and MTH gets many orders why can't they "build to order" like Lionel?

It is rather unusual.

 

This is a picture from another member at York.

My wife and I donate money to charities/Church from the money we earn each year, and then we "write if off as a tax deduction" on our Schedule A. Are you guys saying my wife and I are doing some sort of scam? We are insincere in our charitable giving?

 

I never knew there were so many miserable people in O scale until I started reading the OGR forum. I think I'm going back to HO, where there's blue skies and happy modelers.

 

Anyway, I think the engine/caboose is striking .... not ugly at all. When my nurse wife Donna see this, I'll bet she wants to find money in the family budget to buy a set.

 

Bump for this uncataloged item.

I saw this engine at the MTH booth at York and it is far better in person that it is in the video.  I also have ordered one and looking forward to getting one.  I applaud MTH for trying to raise the funds for this effort.

 

As to those that make those comments, never can make you happy.  MTH put the MSRP on other combo purchases but this is the one that gets called out.  Hopefully you will be fortunate enough in life to never need the funds MTH is donating, for some of us others we are not so lucky.

 

Can't wait to see this get delivered.  Again in person much better than the video shows.

David, do the chase lights flash pink?

I too applaud MTH for making this engine. I wonder if there is a possibility of making the UP Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon ES44AC (hopefully Premier line) as well?
