HO AC4400CW Locomotive FXE Zebra #4527 (ATH-2569)

HO-scale GE AC4400CW Diesel Locomotive in FXE Zebra livery is a ready-to-run model from Athearn that captures the look and power of GE's AC4400CW in the FXE paint scheme. This Legendary Liveries edition blends prototype-accurate detailing with user-friendly features for collectors and layout operators alike, including a heavy die-cast frame, a 5-pole motor with flywheels for smooth pulling, and LED lighting for long-lasting visibility. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and it includes McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers for authentic handling. Finishing touches like a 5,000-gallon fuel tank, see-through cab windows, factory sunshades, and finely rendered grab irons and handrails enhance the lifelike appearance on the rails.

Designed for HO layouts, it runs on standard track with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). FXE-specific details include three dynamic brake intakes, low-number boards, a Nathan P3 horn, and GE steerable trucks for more realistic operation. The model features RP25 wheel contours, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and precise gearing for quiet, reliable performance. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, with packaging that protects the model during storage when not in use.
