A word of caution...I cannot seem to capture the fine points of creating mpd files in MLCAD. All the files have to be downloaded and then the ES 44.ldr file run. The files are located at

The only change from Chris’ original design is the use of two more Minifig hands on the upper handrails. Chris said this is OK and he will probably make the change on his model.

This, along with Chris’ Prime Mover creation, have been a real joy to work with. I think we have a new star in Chris in the world of train design.

Let me know of any corrections, observations or objections.

As I mentioned before I was working on this already - but my MPD uses step-by-step instructions. So I’ll continue my project and borrow/steal from yours to save me the effort of placing the parts, and just organize it into steps and put it into one big MPD file. I’ll post the results in a couple days.

I finally figured out how to make an .mpd file. The .mpd file is now complete and uploaded to Brickshelf. Its address is
