[antagonis]

I will order 13 of them! they that good.

[ThuaTaurn07]

Woot, love UP but 1 problem, UP doesnt have wig-wag ditch lights! Other than that awesome vid!

[armyof11]

I found your train layout! It looks good. Nice loco's. As soon as I sell my race car I can go the hell down to the hobby shop and start ordering! Till then im stuck just looking and wishing. You got some great looking engines, but you should add a few SD-40-2 MRLs. Great layout

[dcalcutt]

I can't wait till I get my Tower 55 units in Norfolk SOuthern.

[MonsterRailroad]

So I hear that is not going to be anytime soon though. I also really like Norfolk Southern. I would actually buy a couple NS SD70M-2 when they finally arrive in a year or so.

I mighht be an old man when they come.

Have you looked at my videos? Try my freee software when you have a chance.

hey how much are the ES44AC's?

[MonsterRailroad]

They were about $275 for the ones with sound but now that they do not make them anymore well the prices has increased and you just cant find them for sale often at all. You will have to wait for Athearn Genesis to make and release them

[ballparkfrank10]

oh ok. hey al by any chance do u know when athearn is gonna come out with them? i was also on ebay and i saw a tower 55 ES44AC for $275.95. but the shipping was an extra $15 i think. and i dont like buying off of ebay.

[MonsterRailroad]

Tricky tricky.  The release date for these has NOT been posted but they are figuring a 1 to 2 year time. I have heard 2010 at the earliest.

[ballparkfrank10]

oh wow! that sure is a long time! lol

@MonsterRailroad Don't forget Intermountain, Al.

[nssd70m2]

Amazing bud!! Absolutely amazing! Great looking layout, fantastic consist, and excellently detailed models!! 5 stars!!

[MonsterRailroad]

Thanks Pwhite! The locos details are all due to to Tower 55 and Overland not me though. :) As for the layout yea I did that one all by myself. No famous modelers help that we all see in the corny ass Model Railroader magazine ya know?

[pwhite73]

Ha Ha Ha!!! Totally!! You mean to tell me Rod Stewart didn't really build that whole layout on his own?? Just kidding!!!

But yeah, the trains look good, but the layout is what really sells the looks! Excellent job, and I can't wait to see more vids of the SD70ACe.

[MonsterRailroad]

I actually just received the SP unit in the mail today and it is out of the box and on my layout right now. I am going to take some pictures of it and make a couple more videos before i send the Rio Grande out for repair. It is running super slow for some reason I do not know, but for $800 they better fix that shit ya know what I mean?

Rod Stewarts ass probably didnt do shit. he probably paid out for the complete layout.

[pwhite73]

Yeah, you bet that the engine better work right for that much money!! Damn thing oughta work perfectly for that much!!

Can't wait to see the SP unit.

[NSmoosedog]

Fantastic layout you have.

[trainutjob]

nice sound.i like those ditch lights!
