Kato Announces New GE ES44AC's for Union Pacific & Canadian Pacific

Delivery expected Early October 2010

A few units are still available

 

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.

 

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
* DCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation
 
Delivery Expected Early October 2010
