30-21415-1 BNSF #2026 ES44AC DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE-O

With a wave of industry consolidation behind it, North American railroading has entered a modern era of heavy hauling. Freight traffic is booming, and locomotive orders from the continent's dominant Class I roads—Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Canadian National, and Canadian Pacific—are moving at a record pace. The battle to supply this 21st-century fleet is fiercely contested by the two remaining diesel titans: Caterpillar®-owned EMD with its SD70ACe, and General Electric with its standard-bearing Evolution Series, the ES44AC and ES44DC. At the heart of the Evolution Series is a revolutionary prime mover: the four-cycle, 12-cylinder GEVO-12. Delivering the same massive 4,400 horsepower as its 16-cylinder FDL predecessor, the GEVO-12 consumes less fuel and reduces emissions by a staggering 40%. GE has boldly proclaimed the EVOs to be “the most fuel-efficient, most environmentally friendly diesel locomotives in history.” Re-thought from the ground up and backed by 25 new U.S. patents, every major Class I railroad has eagerly adopted them, with BNSF currently rostering the largest fleet. Our superbly detailed, top-of-the-line RailKing Imperial model of this modern freight mover features a full range of locomotive sounds recorded from an actual ES44AC. Outfitted with twin powerful flywheel-equipped motors, all-metal wheels and gears, and our revolutionary Proto-Speed Control, our ES44AC will haul long freights at any speed from a crawl to full throttle. Remotely activated front and rear Proto-Couplers allow you to pick up and drop off freight wherever you like. Additional Imperial features on the ES44AC include operating diesel exhaust smoke and flashing ditch lights. *The America 250® word mark and logo are trademarks of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission and are used under license. © 2026 U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission All Rights Reserved Features: Intricately Detailed, Durable ABS Body Die-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank Metal Chassis Metal Handrails and Horn Moveable Roof Fans Metal Body Side Grilles Detachable Snow Plow (2) Hand Painted Engineer Cab Figures Authentic Paint Scheme Metal Wheels, Axles and Gears (2) Remote-Controlled Proto-Couplers Prototypical Rule 17 Lighting Directionally Controlled Constant Voltage LED Headlights Lighted LED Cab Interior Light Illuminated LED Number Boards Operating LED Ditch Lights (2) Precision Flywheel-Equipped Motors Operating ProtoSmoke Diesel Exhaust Onboard DCC/DCS Decoder Locomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments Proto-Sound 3.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring Freight Yard Proto-Effects Unit Measures: 17” x 2 1/2” x 3 3/4” Operates On O-31 Curves
