Of the two U.S. makers of mainline freight engines, General Electric and EMD, only GE was ready with a new Tier 4 diesel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than two years earlier, in August 2012, GE had outshopped No. 2015, the first demonstrator of its “Ecomagination” technology for meeting Tier 4 standards. What GE wanted to avoid was the “after-treatment” solution used since 2010 in heavy truck engines: carrying a tankfull of a chemical called urea that reacts with exhaust gas to neutralize nitrogen oxide. Instead GE developed an ingenious system that recirculates hot exhaust gas back into the engine; the net result is that switching to a new GE diesel is the equivalent of removing 12,000 cars from our nation’s highways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 two 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, flashing LED ditch lights, and operating LED Charging Lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet Features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eES44 Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Caboose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricately Detailed Durable ABS Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Handrails and Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Handpainted Engineer Cab Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Paint Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Wheels, Axles and Gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Remote Controlled Proto-Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Rule 17 Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectionally Controlled Constant voltage LED Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted LED Cab Interior Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated LED Number Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating LED Ditch Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating LED Charging Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Precision Flywheel-Equipped Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating ProtoSmoke Diesel Exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC Receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNear Scale Sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Measures: 17” x 2 1\/2” x 3 3\/4”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On O-31 Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaboose Features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricately Detailed Durable ABS Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStamped Metal Floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Wheels and Axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast 4-Wheel Trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-Angle Wheel Sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle-Point Axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Metal Latch Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaboose Interiors With Overhead Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative Brake Wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate Metal Handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNear-Scale Proportions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Measures: 17” x 2 10 1\/4” x 2 1\/2” x 4 1\/4”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On O-27 Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MTH RailKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43484792586453,"sku":"MTH30209731","price":419.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/mth-30-20973-1-o-gauge-ge-es44ac-imperial-diesel-and-caboose-set-with-ps3-gevo-evolution-hybrid-2022.jpg?v=1660752371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/mth-30-20973-1-o-gauge-ge-es44ac-imperial-diesel-and-caboose-set-with-ps3-gevo-evolution-hybrid-2022","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
