Just got my first ES44AC and am breaking it in. Wow...smoothest operator out of the box ever. And I'm impressed with the fine detail, both molded and painted. Sweet job, AZL. 
Hoping that forthcoming SW1500 is so smooth! There is one coming, right? |

Hoping that forthcoming SW1500 is so smooth! There is one coming, right? They are sweet loco's . I'll bet your waiting for Pa Heritage one to be released. I know I can't wait. Bob SW1500 is a dream for right now. |

I break them in DC, since they come out of the box that way. I have a handful of AZL4 decoders here, however, and swap them over once broken in.
Right or wrong, I figure if something were to happen and I modified the unit, I can't really ask AZL (or anyone else) to fix it, even if it were defective. Not that any have ever been defective. Mostly they do need breaking in, and I run them an hour (30 minutes each direction). But this one wanted to go once released from the plastic case. Was really fun to watch.
(As for the SW 1500, if memory serves it "won" the "what loco should we work on next?" vote... And, yeah, I've been looking for the PC/PRR/NYC version of the '44...sometime soon, I'm sure... Got a good price on the Conrail colors, so Conrail it is...)

Tried out my BNSFs today and they ran very well, smooth and silent. Had plans on getting SD75M in Santa Fe and BNSF but I think I'll go for some additional ES44ACs instead...

Did someone already tried to swap the locomotive's front AZL snowplow embedded coupler with a MTL sample ? Dom |
