Description
Part of GE’s “Evolution Series” (commonly referred to as a “GEVO”), the GE ES44AC is a six-axle, 12-cylinder, 4,400-horsepower diesel locomotive. With nearly 8,000 units produced, it stands as one of General Electric’s best-selling locomotive designs. In addition to widespread use in North America, these locomotives have also been exported to countries such as Brazil, Kazakhstan, Australia, and Egypt.
In this production run of HO Scale ES44s, we are bringing several striking paint schemes to HO scale. These include ACL, C&O and Chessie System CSX Heritage Units, CSX #3099 “Spirit of West Springfield,” FEC’s modern Grupo Mexico Scheme, Iowa Interstate’s 30th Anniversary “Rock Island” Paint, and a fun US Navy-inspired fantasy paint scheme.In this production run of HO Scale ES44s, we are bringing several striking paint schemes to HO scale.
