Wayne...That's a B'mann SY.
A beauty of an engine..but a little on the light side. It could use some weight to make it a better puller...Any ideas..??

This engine is another FINE EXAMPLE of the FANTASTIC QUALITY BLI puts into there engines:thumb:. it runs smooth as silk, the lighting effects are GREAT, its VERY HEAVY, and the sound is SLAP AWESOME!!!:up: i ran it some on Dads layout tonight before i brought it home, we BOTH agreed the horn on this engine is the best sounding horn of ALL the engines either of us have, and folks, thats A LOT of engines. for ANYONE modeling modern, THIS ENGINE IS A MUST HAVE!:thumb:

THANKS JOSH!, it IS quite AWESOME:mrgreen:. i too have a Tower55 UP SD70ACe on pre-order:thumb:, i ordered mine with the red sill though . :mrgreen: -DeanoMy o my thats one FINE little (big) lady there! I love it. I really need to stop with the talk and get myself one. But instead I go and ask about pre-ordering a Tower 55 SD70ACe (should have my Union Pacific yellow sill in January 2008!).
Yes, the SY is Chinese. One of them was brought over in 1989. The engines that arrived recently were two QJ 2-10-2s.SY? Is that the 2-8-2 Chinese prototype, a couple of which made it to the States?
I'm putting in the pre-order for the yellow, and I'll get myself a red sill later. I still haven't bought an AC6000CW, or either of the ES44AC's. I guess I'm just slow.THANKS JOSH!, it IS quite AWESOME:mrgreen:. i too have a Tower55 UP SD70ACe on pre-order:thumb:, i ordered mine with the red sill though . :mrgreen: -Deano
