This Kato GE ES44 is based on units in service from coast to coast since the 2003. This standard DC locomotive features a five-pole motor with dual flywheels, directional LED headlights, highly detailed body, wheel profiles for operation on Code 55 and larger rail, great decoration and Kato knuckle couplers. It can be converted to DCC operation by changing out the lighting board with a DCC decoder of your choice, sold separately. The GE ES44 will be at home on the head end of your railroad's 2000s and later freight consists.
Model Features:
Multiple body styles to reflect different 'as delivered' railroad specifications
Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards
Illuminated ditch lights
Kato magnetic knuckle coupler
Drop in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K1D4 and Digitrax DN163K1C.
Prototype Information:
The ES 'Evolution Series' of locomotives are built by GE Transportation Systems and designed to meet the U.S. EPA’s Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. These Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with AC traction motors and are powered by a newly designed 'GEVO-12' 12 cylinder engine that produces the same power as the 16 cylinder AC4400CW, but with fewer emissions and greater fuel economy. It also carries a redesigned air-to-air dual-fan heat exchanger, which gives it its distinct oversized radiator; a common spotting feature for these new locomotives.
