Looking for an ultra-detailed six-axle unit lettered down to the road number? ScaleTrains' GE ES44AC in their premium Rivet Counter line, in Iowa Interstate/Paul H. Banner Tribute/PTC paint, is exactly that kind of centerpiece.
Introduced in 2002, GE's Evolution Series replaced the AC4400CW and Dash 9-44CW and went on to become the best-selling diesel locomotive line of all time, with nearly 8,000 units built. Its 12-cylinder GEVO prime mover makes 4,400 hp while meeting EPA emissions standards, and on the ES44AC the current is inverted back to AC to feed the traction motors.
