MTH ES44 Diesel Engine

The new CSX ES44 from MTH. Equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0. I’m running 2 powered units in a “lash-up” configuration. More videos, pictures and blog at www.ericstrains.com. Enjoy!

   @puzzler19 Those CSX twin stacks were made by MTH a few years ago. The model number is 20-90365. I checked with MTH’s product locator and they don’t show any dealers that still have them in stock.

   Thanks for your review of the Lionel CP I just bought one and I ran it at the train store and it is the best diesel that the store owner has ever seen. Can you tell which track do you use for a permanent layout.

   If you have 2 CSX ES44DCs, you might like to purchase a CSX ES44AC. I hope you can purchase someday.

   I used to not feel interested in this ES44 locomotive, but NOT anymore! In my opinion, my most favorite GE locomotives are the AC series, but this locomotive looks fascinating. It looks similar to the original GE locos, but the only difference I see are the rear radiators. I like this one in the CSX scheme.

    @virginiarails855 I keep as many trains on the layout as I can without things getting too crowded and the rest are in boxes until I get some display shelves. I regularly rotate the trains out so that every train gets to spend some time on the layout.
