Anyone have any pics of the newest Premier CN ES44AC which came out this year? I am considering buying one and I want to know if they got the details correct. 

I did a post on 08/17 about it. Wrong for the  CN ES44ac for the two cab numbers MTH made. Nose door should be on the engineer's side and the nose door should have no window. This model would be perfect if MTH gave it a cab number around 2890. I'm disappointed because once again a little research would make the difference. Ironically MTH went to great detail on the CN 2200 series with CN tear drop windows and nose marker lights. I'm not a rivet counter but blatant avoidable errors on a high dollar diesel I don't need.

That's a shame. Too bad the older 2200s series are so hard to find nowadays. MTH really needs to upgrade their Gevos. The door is on the wrong side for almost all roadnames. 

EDIT: I read your post and the replies. I 100% agree with the HO vs O thing. Same situation with the NS S&A heritage unit. There's a post about it on the forum, but basically the paint on the engine was very inaccurate and even the non-river counters said it was unacceptable. I really hope this changes soon. I'm not interested in it anymore. Thank you for the info.
