The GE Tier 4 GEVo is designed to meet increasingly stringent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPA “Tier” emissions standards are a series, or Tiers, of allowable emissions levels based upon a locomotives’ date of manufacture. The highest and most stringent tier level, Tier 4, sets maximum allowable NOx and hydrocarbon emissions levels for locomotives built for domestic use 2015 onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile similar in appearance to previous GE GEVo designs, the Tier 4 models featured a longer frame compared to their predecessors. This allows for a larger radiator “cab” (GE refers to the various sections of the long hood as “cabs”), and a “hump” over the engine cab for advanced exhaust treatment equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, a boxy housing filled the entire roofline on the blue-painted field test\/demonstrator units. Due to changes in treatment equipment and clearance issues, the “hump” would decrease in size and shape into a boxy compartment around the exhaust on initial production units. This culminated in an angled compartment surrounding the exhaust manifold on the latest production versions (2016+).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite boxier engine cab rooflines and a radically styled radiator cab, the basic Tier 4 design shares a family appearance with GE safety cab-equipped units going back to the DASH-9s of the 1990s. It even includes the same 12-cylinder GEVo-12 series prime mover and 4,400hp as its predecessor model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tier 4 units have proven to be popular with the major railroads including BNSF Railway, Canadian National, CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific. While GE has settled on a basic carbody design to keep production costs down, there are notable variations and detail differences due to customer specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith many units built for railroads across the US and in Canada, the Tier 4 GEVo can be seen operating nationwide in a variety of assignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HO Scale Tier 4 GEVo is made under trademark license from General Electric Transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 2017-Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating LED front and rear deck mounted alternating LED ditch lights*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted and LED lighted number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLSL (Locomotive Speed Limiter) indicator lights on cab sides (non-operating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSill-mounted brake stick holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody mounted semi-scale Type E knuckle couplers; Micro-Trains® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler box accepts Micro-Trains 1015\/1016 couplers without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway with front and rear anticlimber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGE “nub” pattern walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand box clean out door with knuckle buster latch and hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide profile end handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront high (cab) mounted headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra nose front grab iron on engineer’s side of cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose door without window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cab interior with floor, rear wall, seats, and control stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTinted cab side windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab roof JEM Communications PTC antenna farm with single medium and two small Sinclair antennas on front cabinet and two medium and one small Sinclair antenna on rear cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft side dynamic brake cab: tri blower dynamic brake with flush exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight side dynamic brake cab: door with grille, door with grille, small grille, and door with grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent production engine cab (long hood) with angled exhaust compartment roofline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost wax brass cast Nathan AirChime K5HLR2 horn mounted on engine cab roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately profiled frame with separately applied plumbing and cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGE Hi-Ad trucks with separately applied brake cylinders and air plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5,300 gallon fuel tank with external waste retention tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual fuel fills per side with rear fill “blanked”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-applied wire grab irons, snowplow, trainline hoses with silver gladhands, 3-hose MU clusters with silver gladhands, MU cable, uncoupling levers, windshield wipers, mirrors, sunshades, air tanks, fuel tank mounted electronic bell, brake wheel, exhaust stack, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor with 5-pole skew wound armature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pick-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional LED headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinting and lettering legible under magnification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on Code 55 and 80 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable packaging safely stores model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Radius: 9 ¾”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Radius: 11”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC \u0026amp; sound ready locomotives also feature:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on DC layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC ready with Next18 connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* In DC operation, both front ditch lights illuminate; rear ditch lights (if equipped) do not illuminate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ScaleTrains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43975561838805,"sku":"SXT33663","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/scaletrains-rivet-33663-n-scale-ge-et44-tier-4-diesel-horsehead-norfolk-southern-ns-3667.png?v=1675121678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/scaletrains-rivet-33663-n-scale-ge-et44-tier-4-diesel-horsehead-norfolk-southern-ns-3667","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
