Model the ground-shaking, high horsepower drama of modern railroading with this General Electric Evolution Series (EVO) ES44AC. At the heart of the Evolution Series is a 4400 hp diesel motor designed specifically to comply with new Environmental Protection Agency regulations. 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."

Our near-scale Imperial Series model of this diesel is a full 17" in length, yet operates comfortably on O-31 curves. Under the hood is the very same Proto-Sound 3.0 sound and control package found in our more expensive Premier model of this locomotive, with sounds recorded from the actual prototype. Additional Imperial features include variable-intensity diesel exhaust smoke, flashing ditch lights, and remote-controlled couplers so you can pick up and drop off a train anywhere on your layout.
