Fox Valley
is developing new tooling for several versions of an
N scale GEVO ES44 diesel locomotive. The initial release will
include an ES44AC decorated for KCS in three road numbers, an
ES44DC decorated for Canadian National in three numbers, and
a BNSF ES44C-4 in four road numbers. Three variations of body
style and three different cabs will be offered. Additional fea-
tures include directional headlights, operating ditch lights, and
either Hi-Ad or steerable trucks depending on the road being
modeled. The models will be equipped for standard DC at an
MSRP of $124.95. Conversion to DCC will be relatively simple
using a drop-in after market decoder such as Digitrax DZ1251N
or TCS EUN651. Delivery dates for the initial production run
are expected to be announced soon. InterMountain Railway is
responsible for marketing Fox Valley products. For additional
