InterMountain 497109S GE ET44 Tier 4 GEVO Canadian National - Veterans Square Exhaust #3015 HO Scale

InterMountain presents the 497109S GE ET44 'Tier 4 GEVO' in HO scale, specifically for the Canadian National with Veterans Square Exhaust #3015. Note that the picture might show a different road number. This officially licensed model upholds InterMountain's tradition of excellence in modern GE - built locomotives. It has finely - molded parts, railroad - specific details, and accurate prototype - based colors with sharp laser painting and printing, including numerous tiny labels. The new Tier 4 drive is smooth, heavy (about 1.6 lbs), and powerful, thanks to a larger motor. Operating LED lighting includes front and rear headlights, correctly scaled ditch lights, number boards, and walkway lights. There are also RED DPU lights on Canadian National units. Other details are equally impressive, like spinning bearing caps on axles, accurate traction motor details, wheel flange lubricators, and more. Sound locomotives released after February 2021 come with ESU® LokSound® 5 DCC sound decoders, while those before 2021 have ESU® LokSound® Select®. Non - sound locomotives released after February 2021 are equipped with ESU® LokPilot® 5 DCC decoders, and those before 2021 have ESU® LokPilot® V4.0. DC - only customers can reserve 'DC - only' models, but note that some lighting functions may not work properly. The model has different exhaust versions in different releases, and as more railroads buy these locomotives, more product announcements will follow.

Using your InterMountain HO Scale Canadian National GE ET44 Tier 4 GEVO locomotive is easy. First, if you have a sound - equipped model, make sure to connect it to a compatible DCC system to enjoy the realistic Tier 4 GEVO sounds. For non - sound models, they'll work fine on a standard DCC track. When operating, keep in mind that the locomotive is heavy, so it provides good traction, but handle it gently to avoid damage to the fine details. As for maintenance, regularly clean the wheels and axles with a soft cloth to ensure smooth running. Check the electrical connections from time to time, especially if you notice any lighting or sound issues. If you have a DC - only model, be aware that some lighting features may not function correctly. And always store your locomotive in a dry and dust - free place to keep it in top condition.
