The tower 55 ES44DC UNION PACFIC

Hi modelrailroaders. I read an article in todays modelrailroader magazine and they say the engine that's really is the coolest DCC engine that you would want is the ES44DC locomotive. In a part of the article they said that the DCC engine has all sounds from the General Eletric locomotives and it can carry 62 cars. The article says that if you blow the horn for a few seconds the functions of the trains will sometimes change but nothing bad will happen to the engine. The pulling ounces is like 4.5 to 5.0 ounces. The motor is very quiet so it is kind of like a Kato locomotive. Well I think I said enough what do you people think of the engine?


Sincerely
Ryan LaPlaca
