Decided to go ahead and get the ES44AC set. These units are fantastic! Something is very different about these units than the SH ES44AC. They're much more realistic in the 'loading' of engine. When you throw it to full throttle, it doesn't just jump to notch 8 within a few seconds. I was pulling out of Cheyenne with 2 units and a 70 car empty manifest and the units took more than a minute to reach full throttle. The train also feels a lot heavier than the regular SH trains. Anyone else notice this? I also love the automatic ditch lights, but waiting on that bell. RSC has done such a great job, the bell can be overlooked. Extremely happy with this set.
