We’re excited to announce the latest run of Rivet Counter HO Scale ES44 GEVOs which includes new roadnames, paint schemes, and Norfolk Southern Heritage Units. Designed and manufactured by General Electric to meet the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier 2 Emissions Standards that first took effect in 2005, the first prototype locomotives were built in 2003. Since then, the ES44 has become the best-selling diesel locomotive of all-time with nearly 8,000 units being produced. The ES44 series is owned by all Class I Railroad Companies in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In our latest run, we’re featuring railroads from all three countries.
