Beautiful engine.  Looks and sounds great.

Art

These are wonderful engines. Enjoy.

  on carpet layouts!!

I cannot wait to have the space one day to construct a permanent layout.  Not necessarily the most prototypical running sessions, but at least I can enjoy the pieces I have. 

Appreciate the comment! 

PTC, Art, David, 

I appreciate the comments.  They are special engines for sure!

Thanks for watching,

Michael

Yes, you should be really happy. I have all diecast engines, not the BSA UP Engine, but you can pull 100 plus cars with 3 Diecast ES44AC Engines, and wow, the sounds, the screaching whistles, the bells, Its the Berrys of model railroading.  Happy Railroading, and Congratulations.

Thanks, Larry!! My goal is to collect them all, but obviously with the addition of 3 in the past few months, it's time to settle down for a bit, as my train allowance has been spent. 

They are fantastic locomotives, aside from the incredible detail, the sound set is sublime. I noticed it is slightly different than Lionel's plastic renditions of the ES44ACs (NS heritage series), particular the start-up sequence.  

I appreciate your comments!

Whats fun is running the Hybrids, GE EVO and the CP Rail back to back in a Lash up and watching the light show. I did have the UP BSA Engine, but traded it for the KCS Diecast from a good friend. I think Lionel hit a Home Run with the DieCast ES44AC's.

Now, they are hitting home runs with the Steam Engines with Whistle, Steam Effect. I really like the Legacy System and its becoming an Addiction to get all of these fantastic Locomotives......WOW. Happy Railroading

Very, very nice!! One of these days I have to get mine on the rails!

The BSA 2010 will most likely be my next focus, very desirable piece. 

Thks, Jeff. 

No.  They have plastic body shells, with die-cast fuel tanks and trucks.

Similar to their NS Heritage Series ES44ACs.
