HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive UP #9573 (ATHG-1193)

GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive in Union Pacific livery (UP 9573) is an HO-scale diesel model from the Genesis line, designed for authentic looks and dependable operation on model railroad layouts. This highly detailed replica captures signature UP styling, including illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and illuminated number boards, along with etched see-through walkway steps and a full cab interior visible through the cab windows.

Under the shell, a Genesis drivetrain delivers smooth, quiet performance with a 5-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain, all supported by a heavy die-cast frame for added traction. The model uses RP25 wheel contours, body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, and LED lighting for realistic operation; it is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors, and sound-equipped versions add a Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds. Designed for HO layouts, it runs on curves from an 18-inch minimum radius (22 inches recommended) and features accurately painted prototype colors.
