Visually they have different numberboards, marker lights, headlight placement and intake vents. The most noticable is the intake vents on the top sides of the 44s are taller. Mechanically and electrically they are pretty similar. AEM7s were made in america by EMD using ABB sweedish parts based off the Rc4 and the ALP44 was made in sweeden. earily models were based on Rc6 and the M model (4420-4430) based on Rc7 model. Both models have 7,000hp and provide 500kW of HEP.
Have fun trying to get these since nobody makes any of them. The FH can be bought as a shell but requires ALOT of work to make it happen. I have had one for a year now and its still not complete.
Yea only the 46. Hope your a skilled modeler, thats not an easy one to put together. These custom resin kits while some are very nice are not you Athearn Ready to roll. Be prepaired for paint, decals, and a good amount of mechanical work!
Yep, all 5 of them and thats about it. Before the new trucks/wheels it can only pull 4 of them with the walthers wheels and trucks. They dont roll well at all.
yeah I know, I have them in, and they don't work well at all. what kind of trucks are you using, and what's going on with your comet 5s, i ordered 2 coaches and a cab, can wait, but I need to find a guy to paint them
were are the coaches from
