General Electric Evolution Hybrid - Lionel Diesel Locomotive

GE EVOLUTION HYBRID
The second diesel locomotive in our VISION Line “Green Fleet” is the distinctive and innovative Evolution Hybrid from GE, offered in O-gauge commercially for the first time ever. Numbered 2010 and painted in a stunning green and light-blue scheme, this striking, one-of-a kind Hybrid locomotive brings a modern ecological touch to any layout. Uncompromising in detail, accuracy, realism, and operation, Lionel’s scale GE Evolution Hybrid is painstakingly designed to replicate the look and performance of its “real life” counterpart.

General Background

After years of research and development, GE introduced its Evolution Series locomotives in 2005, the most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient, and environmentally compatible diesel locomotives in history. Several years later, they developed a hybrid version–the Evolution Hybrid–a one-of-a-kind prototype that General Electric’s “Ecomagination” team is using for critical testing and analysis to improve the operation and energy-efficiency of the Evolution Series. Ecomagination is GE's initiative to help meet customer demand for more energy-efficient products.
How does it work? GE’s Evolution Hybrid captures the energy dissipated during dynamic braking and stores it in a series of sophisticated batteries visible on the side of the locomotive. That battery-stored energy then provides an additional 2,000 horsepower to the locomotive, thus increasing engine power while reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact.

Spectacular Lighting Features!

Prototypical battery “charging lights” flash in motion along sides of locomotive
Enhanced realistic lighting in cab interior
Directional lighting including dual LED headlights on front and rear
Oscillating ditch lights on front
Illuminated number boards
Ground lights on sides Unparalleled Detailing!

Unparalleled Detailing!

The die-cast metal GE Evolution Hybrid has an unprecedented level of body detailing and accurate, separately applied parts. Just look at all the special features:
Opening compartment doors reveal hidden details
Realistic, separately applied radiator vents
Operating radiator fans
Decorated cab interior with enhanced panel detail
Die-cast metal body
Die-cast metal trucks, pilot, and fuel tank
Metal frame
