The 5 Lionel CSX Heritage ES44AC's & 2 CSX ES44AC's I ordered are suppose to come in by end of this week. I will be sure to post photos and videos. I am very excited!!!

Dave, it’s nice that you are able to get that engine. I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Dave Nope don't regret it. That year had issues with the magnet cracking and exploding on the inside of the shell. Sending metal pieces all over the place and shorting out the board. I had the same engine, and it became a dummy in less than a year.

Never had a issue with it and this one is the same. When I took it apart to inspect it and lube it, everything is fine. I figure after 22 years if it has not crumbled by now its good to go. Runs and sounds great.
There were issues back in 2002 when this was released but it was not the entire run. I know others who have this engine and they are still running. Sorry about yours!
Dave
