Thank you for being patient. Testing ES44ACs at the moment and it is going well. The locomotives be part of our early July releases. BNSF and NS "Monon" are first out the door. Sincerely, Hans Spoiler alert!!  |

How many road numbers for BNSF will be offered?

We have 3 road numbers, but not sure if all will be released at the same time. They probably will since only 210 BNSF locomotives are part of the first run.

I tried to buy one of those, but they sold out faster than I could save money  |

I see the BNSF Heritage III/"Swoosh" in your photos, but are you doing the Heritage II scheme (Yellow Serif BNSF lettering, like on the SD75M) as well this run? |

We will only be releasing the "Swoosh" design this time around.

We will only be releasing the "Swoosh" design this time around. That's very disappointing. I'm not sure why you would skip one of the most ubiquitous schemes on a locomotive *ever* for--say--a shortline Rock Island heritage scheme, for example. I know you guys love money so that makes it even more puzzling. |

Oh, so the money is optional? Great, I'll triple my order then.

I like this new system! (But hey, I already knew you guys don't take criticism well. I should have expected such a response.) Don't worry though...your dealers will sell all those Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis ES44's they get stuck with....eventually. My money will probably be around in 8 or 9 more years when that happens. |

I was also hoping for a BNSF Heritage II release early on for the ES44s. I know I could get an SD75 but the detail looks so much better on the ES44. Hans or Rob, can you give a timeframe for the Heritage II?
