Broadway Limited Imports GE ES44AC - CSX #1871 - ACL Heritage Paint - Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC - N Scale

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.

For this run, we’re thrilled to introduce several new paint schemes to N scale that we’ve never offered before. These include CSX Heritage Units, BNSF’s 25th Anniversary Units, Union Pacific’s “5,000th GEVO” unit, and several other eye-catching liveries that are sure to stand out on your railroad.

Each model is available with Paragon4 Series DC/DCC/Sound or in our Stealth Series.  Stealth Series models are No-Sound / DCC-Ready models that operate on DC out-of-the-box, or a modeler can easily install their DCC decoder of choice.  Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional.  Other lights are always ON with track power.  Each model boasts road-specific details and lighting.  List of individually controllable lights in our GE ES44AC models:
