Description

Jesse Gahring’s ScaleTrains-branded paint scheme design takes inspiration from both the Chicago & North Western Railroad and the New York Central System. With vintage lines that take us back to the golden age of railroading, this ES44 looks classic while also remaining contemporary by displaying our new ScaleTrains logo prominently on each end of the locomotive. It also features the “Spirit of Benton” on the side of the nose which is a nod to our headquarters in the mountains of southeast Tennessee.

Our Rivet Counter series model is based on Norfolk Southern’s 8000 series ES44AC and features a high-mounted headlight, PTC array, front and rear anti-climbers, a sill-mounted brake stick holder, and more. We’ve also incorporated LED lighting effects including front, rear, and side walkway lights; ground lights; printed and lighted number boards; and flashing front and rear ditch lights.
