Kato 176-8960 N GE ES44AC Canadian Pacific (Every Child Matters) #8757

Details & Specs N GE ES44AC Canadian Pacific (Every Child Matters) #8757   Prototype Information: The ES (Evolution Series) of locomotives are built by GE Transportation Systems and designed to meet the U.S. EPA’s Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. These Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with AC traction motors and are powered by a newly designed “GEVO-12” 12 cylinder engine that produces the same power as the 16 cylinder AC4400CW, but with fewer emissions and greater fuel economy. It also carries a redesigned air-to-air dual-fan heat exchanger, which gives it its distinct “oversized” radiator; a common spotting feature for these new locomotives. ES44DC:  While the AC version has proven to be the overall most popular iteration of the “GEVO”, quite a few railroads elected to use the DC versions of these engines, including the BNSF Railway, Canadian National, and CSX. ES44C4:  The C4 is a variant of the ES44AC, using an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement with an idler axle in the center of each truck vs. the all-wheel power of its ES44AC brethren. This gives the engines the stability benefits of a six axle truck while reducing the number of traction motors from 6 to 4.   Model Information: Kato’s new SD70ACu model accurately represents the six-axle diesel locomotives operated by Canadian Pacific and Norfolk Southern. Designed with road-specific details, these models feature appropriate headlight placements—nose-mounted headlights for Canadian Pacific and cab-mounted headlights for Norfolk Southern. Each locomotive showcases the distinctive paint schemes of the Canadian Pacific Heritage Fleet, meticulously reproduced in N scale. Developed from the ground up with all-new tooling, this release marks the most modern N scale diesel locomotive in Kato’s lineup.   Model Features:   Multiple body styles to reflect different “as delivered” railroad specifications Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards Illuminated ditch lights Kato magnetic knuckle coupler Drop in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K1D4 and Digitrax DN163K1C and ESU 58741 LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA CLICK HERE for an Exploded Parts Diagram.
