It's that time again for those of you that wish to post your favorite photos.

Here are some of my layout, which unfortunatly is no longer up. I will be making little sections that can be taken off to get through the door much easier.

Back to the Future....(A mini Roll-By)
Well the Rock Valley Sub has been back dated to 69-79, but every so often it goes "Back to the Future":eeki: :119: (here and now:winki: ).

7:15AM this morning, "Big ED"(the Subs crew chief), called me up and told me to be on the outskirts of town by track #3 around 8:30AM:winki: . seems the Rock Valley Sub was in need of some BIG power, so Big ED called Proviso yard in Chicago requesting a few units:winki:, he wasn't sure what was coming, but gave me the "heads up":thumb: . sure as heck, at 8:47AM seven units, ALL GE passed by, and i was lucky enough to get pics!:winki: :mrgreen:

the units are:
1- AC6000
2- ES44AC
3- AC4400
4- AC4400
5- AC4400
6- Dash-9
7- Dash-8

So hows that unit run?
Click to expand...
Josh, the Tower55 ES44AC(see pic below) runs GREAT!:thumb: it runs smooth, crawls, good lighting effects, and the sound is good:thumb: . they come with a Digitraxx sound decoder, which is OK, but honestly, i like the QSI sound decoder in the AC6000 BETTER:winki: . the QSI sound decoder in the AC6000 does EVERYTHING the Digitraxx does in the ES44AC, but the sound in the QSI is SPOT ON!:thumb: .
