HO P4 ES44AC Diesel CSX #911/First Responders DC/DCC Sound
Broadway Limited Imports is excited to release a
new modern diesel locomotive model – the GE
ES44AC. Between 2002 and 2019, General
Electric built over 3,700 of these six-axle, 4400 HP
locomotives. Today, they can be found on every Class I
railroad in North America.
In 2022, we are offering models of the ES44AC’s in
several new paint schemes that we have never built before, including
the CSX Pride in Service units. We are also offering several
of the NS Heritage models for a second time, as well as several fantasy
paint schemes, adapting older railroad liveries to the new ES44AC
diesel body. Our models will all have our new
Paragon4 DC/DCC Sound and Control system featuring Rolling Thunder, and
equipped with integral GoPack capacitor packs. All of our
models have road-specific details and lighting. List of
