Kato 176-8945-DCC GE ES44DC Gevo Loco Canadian Pacific 8736 (DCC-Fitted)

Prototype

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

These expertly produced models feature all sorts of body details scaled down from the prototype and together with Kato famous smooth running motor and flywheel arrangement, this model will find a home on any American railway.
