HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive Sound-Ready, HI #7083 (ATH78066)

HO Scale Dash 9-44CW Locomotive, Sound-Ready in HI livery, road number 7083, brings the power and detail of GE's Dash 9-44CW to an HO layout. It’s sound-ready with a 21-pin DCC plug and pre-installed speakers, and LED lighting provides realistic color and brightness in both directions. Road-name-specific details—horn, plow, rear grills, trucks, antennas—plus see-through cab windows and fine-scale handrails create a convincing, display-worthy model.

Designed for reliable operation on HO layouts, this Dash 9-44CW features Quick Plug technology for easy DCC readiness with a 21-pin NEM connector. A 5-pole motor with precision machined flywheels and multi-link drive ensures smooth, quiet operation, while all-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup deliver steady power on varying track conditions. The heavy die-cast frame adds traction, and RP25-contoured wheels ensure compatibility with popular track brands. Finishing touches include McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, separately-applied wire grab irons, steerable or Hi-ad trucks with independent shock struts and brake cylinders, and a 5,000-gallon fuel tank for authentic scale proportions.
