O ES44AC Diesel CSX #3182/3.0

Model the ground-shaking, high horsepower drama of modern
railroading with, General Electric’s Evolution Series ES44AC. At the
heart of the Evolution Series is a diesel motor designed specifically
to comply with new Environmental Protection Agency regulations: the
turbocharged four-cycle, 12-cylinder GEVO-12. While producing the same
4400 horsepower as its 16-cylinder FDL-series predecessor, the GEVO-12
uses less fuel and spits out 40% fewer emissions. Each of its cylinders
displaces 950 cubic inches, more than twice as much as an entire
Corvette V-8.

GE claims the EVOs are “the most fuel-efficient, most
environmentally friendly diesel locomotives in history. If every
freight train in North America were pulled by an Evolution Series
Locomotive, the reduction of smog-producing pollutants would be like
removing 48 million cars from the road each year.” Everything about
these locomotives has been examined, questioned, and re-thought,
generating 25 new U.S. patents in the process. Today ES44ACs are
rostered by every one of the Class 1 roads that dominate rail
transportation in North America: Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX, Norfolk
Southern, Kansas City Southern, Canadian National, and Canadian Pacific.

Our superbly detailed, top-of-the-line RailKing Imperial model
of this modern freight mover features a full range of locomotive sounds
recorded from an actual ES44AC. Outfitted with twin powerful
flywheel-equipped motors, all-metal wheels and gears, and our
revolutionary Proto-Speed Control, our ES44AC will haul long freights
at any speed from a crawl to full throttle. Remotely activated front
and rear Proto-Couplers allow you to pick up and drop off freight
wherever you like. Additional Imperial features on the ES44AC include
operating diesel exhaust smoke and flashing ditch lights.
