Our Newest GEVO - the ES44C4 - lets you run the modern power you see on the rails today! Using our standard DC body, we tooled new trucks to represent the added levers and cylinders that raise and lower the middle axle on the real deal. This is done to adjust the amount of tractive eort applied to the rails on the 4 drive axles. Used heavily on fast Intermodal trains, these new units can be found system wide on all types of trains including general merchandise and even coal trains. Also, to give it that new locomotive look, we used a brighter shade of orange that modelers have been asking for. Same great drive, same great details, and still one of the easiest locos to convert to DCC!

Features:

• Assembled & ready to run
• C4 trucks with simulated adjustable height middle axle details
• Directional headlight
• Illuminated ditch lights
• Sharp painting & lettering
  
• Smooth, powerful drive with 5 pole motor and dual flywheels
• Separate cut levers
• Optional metal grab irons
• Blackened metal wheels
• Easy to add DCC with Digitrax DZ125IN or Train Control Systems TCS EUN651

And speaking of treats, we have a limited number of the Special  Run Fox Valley BNSF ES44DC's in the Southern California Christmas Train scheme with special side boards. There were less than 100 of each road number made, and we have the last few left. So, if you would like a nice little treat that would work great for that Christmas gift, or train around the tree, pick one of these up while they last!
