HO Athearn AC4400CW Locomotive CSXT Dark Future #68 (ATH-2563)

HO-scale GE AC4400CW diesel locomotive in CSXT Dark Future livery. This ready-to-run Athearn model faithfully recreates a modern freight locomotive with bold styling and detailed features. Part of Athearn’s Legendary Liveries, an exclusive line that showcases iconic and imaginative paint schemes, it’s ideal for CSXT-themed layouts or proto-freelance rosters. The unit comes fully assembled and ready to run, with illuminated ditch lights, see-through cab windows, factory sun shades, and other carefully applied details that bring the prototype to life on your layout.

For HO layouts, this locomotive delivers reliable, smooth performance. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a 5-pole motor and precision gears for quiet operation and strong pulling power. LED lighting, all-wheel electrical pickup, and DCC-ready Quick Plug functionality with a 21-pin NEM connector keep it layout-friendly, while RP25-contoured wheels and McHenry scale knuckles ensure realistic coupling and tracking. A 5,000-gallon fuel tank and authentic detailing complete the look, and it is designed for common HO curves (minimum radius 18 inches; 22 inches is recommended). It ships fully assembled and ready to run.
