Kato USA, Inc. N GE ES44DC Locomotive CSX Boxcar #5293 KAT1768948 N Locomotives N Scale CSX Boxcar #5293 Locomotive by Kato USA, Inc.

The ES Evolution Series locomotives, built by GE Transportation Systems, are designed to meet the U.S. EPAs Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that came into effect in 2005. These Evolution Series locomotives are powered by a newly designed GEVO12 12 cylinder engine and are equipped with AC traction motors. The engine produces the same power as the 16 cylinder AC4400CW, but with lower emissions and improved fuel economy. Additionally, the locomotives are equipped with a redesigned air-to-air dual-fan heat exchanger, giving them their distinct oversized radiator.

Although the AC version of the GEVO has proven to be the most popular iteration, some railroads, such as BNSF Railway, Canadian National, and CSX, have opted to use the DC versions of these engines. A variant of the ES44AC, known as the C4, uses an A1AA1A wheel arrangement with an idler axle in the center of each truck, as opposed to the all-wheel power of its ES44AC counterparts. This configuration provides the stability benefits of a six-axle truck while reducing the number of traction motors from 6 to 4.

The locomotives feature multiple body styles to reflect different as-delivered railroad specifications, a powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels, directional headlights and illuminated, preprinted number boards, illuminated ditch lights, and Kato magnetic knuckle couplers.
