Introduction

KATO 176-8955LS N Scale GE ES44AC GEVO Diesel Union Pacific Flag UP 5553 with DCC & Sound

The ES (Evolution Series) of locomotives are built by GE Transportation Systems and designed to meet the U.S. EPAs 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.

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
