Hello guys, So I am just getting back into modelling and the ET44AC and variations are on my plate next. Any pics or advice is welcome. This is a relatively new series I have yet to see on the tracks in my area so More details and progress coming soon

A couple freeware ET's are out but go ahead if you want to make yours.

I don't want to go off-topic here, but you claim that there is a freeware Tier four model for TS. Where might I be able to get my hands on them if you don't mind telling me?

Alright thank you for the link!

Ian, don't worry about the freeware version. It is worth every penny. I'll be waiting for yours.

I second Tom! Any tier 4 is great! If you're looking for reference photos, here are some that may help depending on what Tier 4 you are doing. CSX, Demo, BNSF's ET44C4 with A-1-A trucks, CN, or UP. (not mine):
Demo:


Early rollout (CSX, CN, UP, & BNSF, with the swoosh logo on the side being smaller):


Late rollout (NS; note the exhaust area in front of the radiators being slanted down, with the addition of the cab headlights of the ES44AC):

Hope these helped. Good luck on your project! I'm happy to provide you with an ET44AC horn if you want.

thank you for the reference photos

I'm always going down by the GE plant up in Alliance, TX. Quite a bit of Tier 4 locomotives are being ordered so there are a lot of new units coming out of there. If you need any photos just let me know.

Cab photo for the ET44C4

if you can get me a photo of the cabs back panneling I would be greatful! also if you can get me a sd60M(triclops) cabs back paneling I would be greatful as well! perhaps even whats inside of each panel too...I would gladly make it worth your while! PM me the pics if you can get them and we can talk. thank you!

30% done. some WIP shots. Much more detailed this time around as Iam gearing it towards TSW in the future.

Superb work Ian!! Do you plan on doing the NS version and possible the humpback demo as well?

yeah I do plan on an NS version with this pack. it will be BNSF, NS, and CSX(for TSW) possibly the blue one too we'll see about time.
