Description
Bring the power of today's railroading to your HO Scale layout with this WalthersMainline GE ES44AC Evolution Series “GEVO” in Union Pacific colors, road number #5499. Introduced in 2005 to meet tougher emissions standards, the 4,400-hp ES44 quickly became the most popular prototype diesel in North America, with thousands still in service today — and this limited-edition run pairs that modern muscle with the same powerful drive used in WalthersProto locomotives. This is the Standard DC version, ready to run on conventional DC layouts.

Is this locomotive DCC or sound equipped?
No — this is the Standard DC version with no decoder or sound installed. It runs out of the box on conventional DC layouts; if you run DCC, an aftermarket decoder can be added.
What's the minimum curve it can handle?
It easily handles 18" radius curves, though 22" or larger looks and runs best with a locomotive this long.
Will it run well with other units?
Yes — the five-pole skew-wound motor, dual flywheels, and helical-cut gears are designed for smooth multiple-unit operation alongside other WalthersMainline and WalthersProto diesels.
Can I add more detail?
Yes — grab irons can be added with the GE ES44 Evolution Series Diesel Detail Kit (910-250, sold separately).
