BLI 9886 N Scale GE ES44AC Diesel CSX B&O Heritage 1869 Paragon4 DCC

Part of GE's "Evolution Series" (commonly referred to as a "GEVO"), the GE ES44AC is a six-axle, 12-cylinder, 4,400-horsepower diesel locomotive. With nearly 8,000 units produced, it stands as one of General Electrics best-selling locomotive designs. In addition to widespread use in North America, these locomotives have also been exported to countries such as Brazil, Kazakhstan, Australia, and Egypt.

For this run, BLI will introduce several new paint schemes to N scale never offered before. These include CSX Heritage Units, BNSFs 25th Anniversary Units, Union Pacifics 5,000th GEVO unit, and several other eye-catching liveries that are sure to stand out on your railroad.

Each model is available with Paragon4 Series DC/DCC/Sound or Stealth Series. Stealth Series models are No-Sound / DCC-Ready models that operate on DC out-of-the-box, or a modeler can easily install their DCC decoder of choice. Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional. Other lights are always ON with track power. Each model boasts road-specific details and lighting.
