Part of GE's groundbreaking “Evolution Series,” these locomotives quickly became one of the best-selling diesel lines in history, with nearly 8,000 units built — many of which are still hard at work on the rails today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis production run brings the ES44 to HO scale like never before. Unlike any GEVO previously offered by BLI, this release features all-new diecast tooling. That's right — these models will be diecast, following the same approach as our popular EMD SD70ACe in HO scale!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach model is packed with premium detail, including diecast bodies, brass handrails and horn castings, road-specific details, and a diecast chassis for maximum tractive effort. Paragon4-equipped models will even feature smoke, bringing these iconic diesels to life on your layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis run also debuts a stunning lineup of all-new paint schemes, with many appearing in HO scale for the very first time.
