All my diesels are RailKing mostly Imperial es44, They are about 17" long. I am thinking about picking up a GE44 ton which I believe are about 18" long, correct me if I am wrong. Does any one have a picture of these side by side? I am not a scale purest just don't want it to look way out of wack.

Operating these 44 tonners prototypically would be very limited. Especially since the majority were seen in the 1950’s and 60’s with some exceptions in private industrial situations later on. So running them against HUGH modern diesels or other model non-scale toys wouldn’t serve them well, thus the post confusion on size. They mostly operated by themselves.

Let’s stick with the MTH scale unit as the title indicates. So many threads on here seem to stray off into the apples & oranges category.

The pre order MTH Staten Island 8800 scale unit is not really a 44 but a 65 in real life as Ed Bommer pointed out. I feel lucky just to have another S.I. piece anyway. I’m finalizing the MP3 sound script for it by Tues. If anyone has real operational (S.I) experience please email me. Remember, no radios back then either.

Here’s a better look at the MTH I weathered for a customer below.
