Iowa Interstate MTH Premier ES44AC Review.
Hi guys- Here is another review of a great looking locomotive from MTH Electric trains. This is an ES44AC in Iowa Interstate colors. It's a true 1/48 scale O-gauge model. I received this back in early June but just got around to posting the review. I have all three cab numbers 500,502,&507 and I also have the non-powered unit cab# 510. I plan to power-up the non powered unit- then I'll have four powered units. In the near future I plan to do a video in which I lash-up all units!!! I plan to do that shortly. In the meantime- enjoy this review of this great engine!
If you have any questions please ask! And as always please rate and comment!
Thanks!
Joe

mth-premier-ac4400cw-light-modification
Having just recently received my new BNSF AC4400CW I was both pleased and annoyed. First off let me say that MTH has out done themselves again. This is a beautiful loco that has all the bells and whistles. Runs like a charm and has great up-to-standard detailing one would expect from a "Premier" product. However, the factory-installed sound file came with the all too known "annoying" horn that is of the "new GEVOs"... This is an AC4400cw? Also- like the PS2 upgrades I have performed, I wanted the most out of my lighting. There are two areas of model train lighting that are pet-peeves with me. 1) head and ditch lights are not bright enough and so are not prototypical, 2) the number boards also act as cab interior lights (or in some cases totally flood out cab lights if installed). So, after having performed several PS2 upgrades I felt I was experienced enough to try a little light modification.
First the Cab lights vs. number boards. I prefer to have a dark cab but illuminated number boards- to keep the number boards from flooding the cab with light, I built, with heavy paper card, shrouds around each light bulb inside for each number board. I had to vent the area so I punched little pin-sized holes for cooling. This allowed a little light to escape to the cab but it was totally manageable.
As for the Head and ditch lights, I basically popped the plastic lenses out of the body and ditch light shrouds. This allowed the actual light bulb themselves to be exposed, thus making for brighter lights. A little hot-glue secured them in place. I also built a shroud, around the head light to keep it from flooding the cab- thus keeping the cab dark.
As all of us train fans know, the head and ditch lights of a real train are so bright they blind us up close, and can illuminate terrain for up to a mile away. Now, in a 100 percent totally dark room, my model trains can do the same- having measured a "scale mile" on my floor layout the bulbs produce scale prototypical illumination on my room walls up to a scale-mile away. And they look proto- typically bright up close. Pretty cool!
The video highlights the loco and I do a full up-close light test at the end of video.

September 9, 2011 was the date for the Trains, Planes and Automobiles festival in Geneseo, Illinois. My friend and I followed Iowa Interstate's 2-10-2 class steam locomotive #6988 to Bureau Junction, IL and then back to Annawan, Illinois. After that we went to Buda, Illinois to catch BNSF and UP trains. Enjoy!

Hi guys! Here is a ProtoSound 2 upgrade I did to a Williams-Bachmann GP38. Rock Island had no GP38-2s with dynamic braking or that cab # - leave it to Williams to be inaccurate. But it is still nice model. I lashed it up to MTH Premier U30Cs. These models are Beautiful! Train info below. Please rate and comment! Thanks and Enjoy!

weaver-u25b-burlington-route-with-mth
Here is another Protosound 2 upgrade I performed. This time to a Weaver U25B. I completed upgrades to two U25Bs by Weaver both Burlington Route cab #s 100 and 103. Like all my upgrades I perform I like to have options when it comes to lighting. In this case, I have drilled out the holes on the nose for the MARs lights. I then installed the head lights where they normally go, over the cab. Since this is a "Burlington" item CB&Q like putting the MARS lights where the headlights are and putting headlights on the nose. But CB&Q U-boats were a little different. Instead of the MARS on top of cab, they put them on the nose and I followed my conversion accordingly. The cab interior is lighted and can be turned on or off as well as the Marker lights. Because of the sound file I choose (mainly for the horn sound) I didn't have MARS option, so i just used the ditch light operation as my MARS. The sound file is a U25B from MTH website. With two powered U25Bs I now can make a great lash-up!

Well its not the prettiest of the historic heritage engines. But it is a one of a kind in the world and one I can check off my bucket list. Here is Norfolk Southern's "Monongahela #8025" passing through Bureau, IL and i paced it on its way to Tiskilwa, IL on 8-17-2020. You might have to select HD for best viewing.
