Thank you Michael.

[@Steven_Williams]

Great review and backstory. I have the VL UP version.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you Steven, Very nice the exhaust feature on the VL ones are pretty cool.

[@Steven_Williams]

@@wcmodelrailroad Yeah, the exhaust feature was a selling point for me.

Amazing engine. Love the Santa Fe warbonnet paint. I got the vision line es44ac. And two genset's. Bnsf and union pacific they are beautiful engines

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you! I know the paint scheme isn't prototypical, but it sure looks good on this die cast body like your ES44s.

[@Jokers_Trains]

nice engine sir.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you much!

[@trainroomgary]

🚂 Wow • Like this loco & your detailed review 😎

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you Gary!

[@ReadingAreaRailfan]

I feel like noone realizea this, but the controll stands in the gensets are on the left side of the cab and they run longhood forward.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

I think that's going to vary based on the Railroad. BNSF runs them short hood, at least in all the videos and times I have seen them. Great comment!

[@jrocon747]

Good review! I really like the illuminated control panel!

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you J.R., it's probably my favorite feature on this model

[@trainlover9943]

Awesome engine! I love it! Thanks for putting the podcast link too.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thanks Matt, and no problem.

[@richardnelson-ux1zz]

Eric what was the main job of the switchers were they used to haul mixed freight

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Industrial switching for the most part.

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

have a good sunday!🧭

[@wcmodelrailroad]

You too!

[@anthonystrainsandstuff2942]

Wow! Nice engine you got there! I’ve got the vision line NS switcher, Thanks

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thanks Anthony, the Vision Line models are sweet, love that exhaust feature.

[@daylilygardener6558]

The Genset is nice. I believe the newest release will have two motors and a plastic body. Lived for over 40 years in southern Illinois but never knew about the NREC facility in Mt. Vernon, so I learned something new from this review.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you Day Lily, I'm happy you got something out of this, and yes you are correct they will have dual motors and plastic bodies, but I still plan on picking up the BNSF one. I have lived in Chicagoland all my life and wasn't aware of the Mt Vernon facility either until I researched it myself.

[@1800clyde]

Nice review. That engine looks like a winner especially because of all the details that are hold-overs from the Vision Line.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you and I agree. The Die-Cast body feels nice and the highly detailed cab is the icing on the cake.
