The ES44DC and ES44AC, commonly called GEVOs for General Electric Evolution series, were designed to meet the stricter diesel locomotive emissions standards imposed by the EPA Tier II regulations. To meet the new standards, GE developed the 12-cylinder GEVO 12 engine. Both the bore and stroke were increased to produce the same 4400 horsepower as the older 7FDL16 16-cylinder engine. The new engine drives an alternator producing AC current that is rectified to DC current. On the ES44DC, this powers the traction motors. On the ES44AC, the DC current is “chopped” back into AC to power the traction motors. The two models share a common 73’ 2” frame and external appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.600000381469727px;\"\u003eThe ES44DC and ES44AC external details have changed with almost every year’s new orders. These models are of the early version produced in 2005 and 2006 and include the nose door on the left side, two widely-spaced dynamic brake vents, X-panels on the electrical cabinet, side grab irons on the long hood and flush-mounted top radiator grilles and radiator compartment doors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.600000381469727px;\"\u003eLOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:

As far as “Legendary Liveries” is concerned, the cat is back, pulling coal out of the Appalachians again!  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.600000381469727px;\"\u003eWM FEATURES: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.600000381469727px;\"\u003ePicture this modern GEVO, wearing WM’s famous Circus scheme, waiting to depart Hagerstown with yet another coal train. That is the inspiration behind this model. This is another classic scheme enthusiasts would love to see resurected. Initially applied to 2nd generation diesels by the WM in the 1960s, the classy lines look right at home on a modern GEVO. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.600000381469727px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.600000381469727px;\"\u003eSince 2005, railroads have been unveiling heritage schemes on their locomotives. This has inspired the model railroad and railfan community to create many “what-if” and heritage paint schemes of their own. We have enjoyed seeing these realistic interpretations of what could have been and have decided to create some of our own. We are proud to announce a new line of legendary railroad paint schemes from the past-with a modern twist-starting with our Genesis ES44AC. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.600000381469727px;\"\u003eIntroducing “Legendary Liveries”—where inspiration becomes reality. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37653551546534,"sku":"ATH83164","price":280.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-g83164-ho-scale-ge-es44ac-legendary-liveries-western-maryland-wm-9000-dcc-sound-a.jpg?v=1611742182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-g83164-ho-scale-ge-es44ac-legendary-liveries-western-maryland-wm-9000-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
