                             EM44           4401        4401 Details         4401 Remote Control            Signals            HO Trains

                                                          
                                             13 HP petrol electric 7 1/4" BO BO locomotive.


EM44 has four 500 watt permanent magnet  traction motors.
Two motors on each bogie, chain drive via a reduction gear
box to the wheels.


Late in 2011 I was fortunate to have been given Colin Cave's locomotive Sir Charles Court. This was a very much appreciated gift
and many thanks to his family. The loco was plain and blue running as a battery electric.

EM44 and it's colors are now similar to the EL locos operated in Australia by CFCLA (Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia).
The EM44 loco number comes from E is Electro, M is Motive, 4 is 4 wheels on the rear bogie and 4 wheels on the front bogie 
                                             making it a BO BO arrangement..
