With its numerous digital functions, prototypical equipment and a built-in smoke generator, this locomotive is a real highlight of Era VI.

The prototype: GE ES44AC of the Norfolk Southern

The General Electric ES44AC is part of GE Transportation's Evolution Series and is one of the most powerful diesel-electric locomotives in the world. The locomotive with the road number 8101 was designed by Norfolk Southern as a heritage locomotive to commemorate the historic Central of Georgia Railway. With its striking color scheme and the additional lamps on the rear end, it attracts attention both on the track and on model railway layouts.

Exclusive special model

This limited special model comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item. The chassis and body of the locomotive are made of metal and ensure stability and a high-quality feel. The version with additional lamps on the rear end makes the model particularly authentic and detailed.

Extensive digital functions

The locomotive is equipped with a digital decoder that offers numerous light and sound functions. The headlights at the front and rear, consisting of four lamps each, operate conventionally and can be switched off separately in pairs digitally. The cab lighting, the illuminated road number boards and the high beam can be switched digitally. The locomotive also has a flashing function for the headlights. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free warm white LEDs which ensure a realistic representation.

Smoke generator fitted as standard

A special highlight is the smoke generator fitted as standard, which enables dynamic smoke emission and can be controlled digitally. This feature ensures an impressive operating display and makes the locomotive a real eye-catcher on the layout.

Powerful drive technology

The controlled high-performance drive with flywheel drives two axles in each bogie via cardan shafts. Traction tires ensure a high tractive force, allowing the locomotive to pull even heavy freight trains without any problems. The locomotive is suitable for operation with claw couplers as well as with normal close couplers. An NEM shaft can be fixed with the enclosed clamping pieces.

Typical applications

The ES44AC is predestined for use in heavy freight traffic and is perfectly suited for the representation of modern trains of Era VI. Whether as a single piece or in combination with other freight wagons and locomotives - this model brings the impressive power and elegance of American rail freight traffic to your layout.
