I have one of the Bachmann N scale versions (yellow and black). Made the decals for my Bailey Steel operation. Runs very smoothly, quietly and creeps. slower than a snail. The 44 toner is my facorite industrial switcher.
rrebell Well I got the engine, turns out the inside was rebuilt compleatly and the keep alive runs for about 50 plus seconds on idel with sound on. Can't play with it yet as I have Digitrax and it was programed to 9999 which digitrax dose not support.

Cant you just factory reset the decoder?
That's what I do with any engine I buy used.

Good point, Randy. I have been keeping my eyes peeled when I watch NYC DVDs. I did see a 70-tonner at a GM plant but no 44-tonnner yet.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
tstage Congrats on the new aquisition, rrebell. I love 44-tonners. I wish the NYC had used them in their roster. I'd have at least 2 on my layout. Tom

Reading didn't have any either. But that doesn't mean one of the larger industries didn't have one, private name. So I have one. That will eventually be painted and lettered for my cement plant.

Didn't add that if you want to see it, it was front cover Railroad Model Craftsman feb 2018. I get a copy of the magazine too.

Nope - Sticking with the prototype roster. I have seen that one before though. I do like the lighting stripe but think it looks better on longer diesels - e.g. E- & F-units. For me - smaller switchers look better all-black.
rrebellJust bought a 44 ton Westside brass with DCC and sound and keep alive for a good price, sorry but I have no one else to tell, all train meetings have been canceled
It sounds like a picture of this new acquisition should be in this week's edition of Weekend Photo Fun!

44 tonners are my favorite locomotive, so I can relate. Congrats! Dan

Time for the pictures ... with it operating.
Just bought a 44 ton Westside brass with DCC and sound and keep alive for a good price, sorry but I have no one else to tell, all train meetings have been canceled out here along with seeing anyone into trains, even my e-bay selling buddy will not venture out.
