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.

A great experience!
I’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to N. Scale railroading and one thing I’ve come to learn quickly is that product pre-order is a very important part of the process. The next thing is to find trustworthy order partners. I’m happy to say the the model railroad/railway community have introduced me to some of the finest(North and South of the border and the UK). For this order I had a look at the reviews and chose The Train Exchange in Edmonton where I placed my order in April. Through the process I traded many pleasant emails with Grant there who was supportive and accommodating. More importantly, I found him to be trustworthy which is at the very top of my list. In the end my order just arrived and it’s perfect! Rest assured I won’t hesitate to purchase from The Train Exchange again and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for something to add to their collection!
