    Tell me the differance or differances, between a Ac6000 and a Ac4400. With the introduction of the ac4400 detail kit from details west, maybe there is a need for a convertion :D

    Length and height are pretty noticeable differences in my book! ;) :D Aside from the AC6000 being longer, it has a different frame design, different hood access doors, different intake arrangements, and a radically different, rear-overhanging radiator "wing". Plus, CSX's ride on GE's Generation I or II steerable trucks, each of which are a bit different from another. UP's ride on standard GE Hi-Ad's. Also, there are various door and accessory differences between the CSX and UP AC6000s, too. In short - they're two entirely different locomotives, and it'll take a lot more than a few parts from DW to model an AC6000 from an AC4400.
