N GE ES44AC Locomotive with Paragon4 Sound (BLI7296)

The N GE ES44AC Locomotive, known for its superb engineering and modern design, is an impressive model from Broadway Limited. Built between 2002 and 2019, the original GE ES44AC locomotives are high-powered, six-axle machines that boast a 4400 HP output, making them a common sight on Class I railroads across North America. The model features the advanced Paragon4 Sound and Control System, which includes Rolling Thunder and an integral dual-mode decoder that allows for excellent performance in both DC and DCC environments.

This locomotive is designed with a precision drive mechanism that enables heavy towing and smooth slow-speed operation, complemented by all-wheel electrical pickup and a robust ABS body mounted on a die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort. The paint schemes are prototypically accurate, shaped by premium caliber painting techniques, and the model comes detailed with various separately applied components including handrails and antennas. Additionally, it features MicroTrains-compatible couplers and is capable of running on Code 55, 70, and 80 rail, requiring a minimum operating radius of just 9 inches.
