N Scale GE ES44AC (2027)

Part of GE's "Evolution Series" (commonly referred to as a "GEVO"), the GE ES44AC is a six-axle, 12-cylinder, 4,400-horsepower diesel locomotive. With nearly 8,000 units produced, it stands as one of General Electric’s best-selling locomotive designs. In addition to widespread use in North America, these locomotives have also been exported to countries such as Brazil, Kazakhstan, Australia, and Egypt.

This run debuts a stunning lineup of all-new paint schemes, with many appearing in HO scale for the very first time. Highlights include:

• Norfolk Southern's “Landmark” units, Chicago and Altoona
• Norfolk Southern's America 250 series, nicknamed “The Stars & Stripes”
