MTH GE Evolution w/ Flashing Underbody lights?
Author: Mgoldman

Got an e-mail from MTH advertising the following:
MTH HO #80-2344-1 ES44AC Diesel Engine G.E. Evolution With Flashing Underbody Charging Lights

Where the reflector stripe would normally be on a typical diesel on the MTH model, there are
instead flashing lights that appear to move in sequence.

Why?

Is this prototypical of things to come? Of just the GE Demo or just "for fun"?

That is a real locomotive. With that said the only video I've seen of it with the lights working were while on display.

I see where the diesels now smoke also. Might be BLI, not sure at the moment. Now a smoking GEVO, Really.

Don't they call them "toasters"? I always wondered if the prototype GE units got that nickname because GE makes toasters, or because they catch on fire at regular intervals.

According to most sources, BOTH answers are correct :-)
