Kato N 176-8947 DCC Ready GE ES44C4 GEVO Locomotive Florida East Coast FEC #805

This Kato GE ES44C4 is based on units in service from coast to coast since the 2003. This standard DC locomotive features a five-pole motor with dual flywheels, directional LED headlights, highly detailed body, wheel profiles for operation on Code 55 and larger rail, great decoration and Kato knuckle couplers. It can be converted to DCC operation by changing out the lighting board with a DCC decoder of your choice, sold separately. The GE ES44C4 will be at home on the head end of your railroad's 2000s and later freight consists.

Model 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
  • Drop in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K1D4 and Digitrax DN163K1C.

Prototype Information:

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.

    As with every Kato N-Scale Locomotive I've purchased over the years, it runs fast and smooth. Never been disappointed. Lombard Hobbies has the best prices around as far as I can see.

    The GE ES44C4 from Kato in N scale is awesome. the FEC example I purchased is the same quality I have come to expect from Kato. Prototypically it looks correct and should satisfy any ‘Rivet Counter’, from detail to the paint job it’s great. AAA+++

    While I mostly both run and collect Midwest and Western roads, this was such a sharp looking engine I had to add one to my collection. Runs fine, looks as good as the pics. Very satisfied with the product, price and service. Lowell.
