Kato Announces New GE ES44AC's for BNSF (Swoosh) & CSX (Dark Future)

 Delivery Due November 2010 

A Few Unite Still Avaliable

 

    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:
 
  Prototype specific number board placement 
  Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
  Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards
  Illuminated ditch lights
