An AC4400 would be a gimme. The manufacturer could use the same chassis for an ES44AC and DC. A C44-9W wouldn't be strictly accurate, but would probably pass.
Then again, no S Scale manufacturer has done the same thing with a 34' between bolsters GP (every GP from the GP38 to GP50 except the GP40P and P-2), so I am not holding out any hope. At least, if we could get a relatively inexpensive AC4400CW or ES44AC, an SD70ACe and a GP as above we could kitbash the other units. I am willing to take on that challenge. I just don't want to deal with frames and mechanisms. --- In [email protected], "Tom Hawley" <t.haw...@...> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > A man who values the past (à la NYC & steam) and has an appreciation of the > present and the future said > (From: raisinone ) > . . . . . . . . . .If I were betting my own "jimmy bucks" on a commercial > venture, it would be a sub $600 AC4400 of the same quality as the SHS F > units. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Right on, brother.
