The Evo is a name for several ES44s. Both AC and DC versions. Yes our ES44AC is an Evolution series. The newest version, the Tier 4 is a little different and hopefully we can make this in the future. Actually, we would need to tool a brand new body.

While the SP never had Gevo's, it doesn't seem far out of the realm of possibilities that AZL would do an SP "close enough" release. I would buy one.

We have not planned any fantasy paint schemes, but maybe down the road? Let us hope that the railroads add more heritage units instead.

I generally don't encourage or even really like fantasy schemes. In this case, I'd say it's more of a case of "stretching the truth" than it would be considered a full blown fantasy scheme. The ES44's were a natural progression of the AC4400's we're talking about....and there's certainly likely to NEVER be an AC4400 in Z-Scale. Anyway, I probably agree with your take on it, but if I WERE to recommend one, the SP would be it. I probably don't have to say this, but if you did decide to go down the path of fantasy units, a Santa Fe warbonnet would be a winner. ;-) |

We actually scrapped the AC4400 in favour of the ES44AC. Not saying that there will never be a true AC4400 from us, but it will take time. And do not forget our original brass release, the GE C44-9W.

I think you REALLY need to consider doing a plastic C44-9W.

Do you run dcc. It's dcc. The sale price is $2200. The Dash9 it's a good runner, which it's not true for all AZL brass.

Dave, I can assure you I will not be purchasing it.  He already knows that....he keeps putting on the high pressure sales pitch but I won't budge. I'm sure it's a fine locomotive and good price. Just not in my budget size.  I have funds from a selloff of N and Shamoo thinks I'm Daddy Warbucks since I've been buying Z at a higher rate than a typical established z-scaler would. But that is soon coming to a halt....and certainly doesn't include a locomotive that costs twice what my entire current locomotive collection together cost. |
