HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive Sound-Ready BNSF & Heritage II #672 (ATH78061)

This HO-scale Dash 9-44CW locomotive is a sound-ready model built for realistic operation on HO layouts. Finished in BNSF and Heritage II livery with road number 672, it captures the look of a modern freight hauler and is ready to run right out of the box with a pre-installed speaker and a 21-pin DCC plug for easy decoder upgrades. It features operating ditch lights, LED lighting for authentic color, and road-name-specific horn, plow, rear grills, trucks, and antennas to match the prototype. See-through cab windows, fine-scale handrails, and separately applied horns and grab irons add to the level of realism, while a heavy die-cast frame underpins traction and long-term performance.

Designed for dependable operation, this Dash 9-44CW uses a robust chassis with RP25-wheel contours to run on common HO track. It provides all-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup, steerable or Hi-ad trucks with separate shock struts and brake cylinders, and a 5,000-gallon fuel tank for the freight-hauler look. Road-specific horns, plow, rear grills, exhaust stack, brake wheel, rear sand filler, and air tanks contribute to authentic detailing, complemented by separately-applied wire grab irons and McHenry operating scale knuckles. The Dash 9-44CW follows GE's Dash 9 lineage, introduced in 1993, and has been widely used by major North American roads, including BNSF, making this model a faithful, ready-to-run addition to any HO railroad.
