Looking for a GE Evolution Series six-axle unit, highly detailed and faithful to a specific prototype? The ScaleTrains GE ES44AC, in its premium Rivet Counter line, in CPKC #8737 colors, is exactly that kind of standout piece.
Introduced in 2005 to meet the EPA's Tier 2 emissions standards, GE's Evolution Series became the backbone of modern North American fleets. This 4,400 hp six-axle unit is powered by the 12-cylinder GEVO engine, more efficient and cleaner than the earlier FDLs. This version recreates CPKC #8737 (8700-8739 series, built 2005), in the colors of the new Canadian Pacific Kansas City formed by the CP–KCS merger.
