I'm sure esthetics are not at the top of the list for GE, but that taller center hood section with the doors looks awkward to my eye.

I like the GE demo paint scheme.   I don't mind the hood changes- but I like these quite a bit to begin with, so I'm biased.

I don't mind the hood changes, either. Though not particularly pretty, it least it's distinctive enough to spot without having to puzzle over rivets or vent locations to figure out which model it is, or what phase.

I wonder how long it will take Kato to come out with the model?    According to Wikipedia, there are over 5000 of the GEVO units produced.

Hey Scott, GECX 2039 lead CN 373 from Belleville yesterday (Tues) after the leader crapped out on 373 (GECX 2039 had been trailing on 711). I may have photographed that on the York Sub 

The EF44 sounds a lot like an ES44, but different. I assume it's the exhaust after cooling.

I need to hang out at the train tracks once and a while.  Problem is that it seems like endless Via trains during the day...

I hope you have a photo... as they say, a picture or it did not happen!

Ye have little faith

Nice!  Thanks.

Reminds me of those C32-8 hulks...

One of which I recall shooting on a CN EB on this same line in the late 90's. That was a real treat.
