HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive UP 9599 (ATHG-1194)

An HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive in Union Pacific livery, this model offers a precise, ready-to-run representation of a cornerstone North American freight locomotive. It features illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and lit number boards, along with etched, see-through walkway steps and see-through cab windows to capture authentic detailing from multiple angles.

Designed as a Genesis edition, the locomotive blends scale realism with dependable performance. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame and uses a multi-link drive for strong pulling power and smooth operation, with all-wheel drive and reliable electrical pickup. Fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank with fillers, gauges and breather pipes, a full cab interior, windshield wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, and sander lines contribute to a convincing prototype appearance. LED lighting supports trouble-free operation, and Quick Plug plug-and-play with a 21-pin NEM connector keeps DCC setup straightforward. Body-mounted McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers ride on RP25-contoured wheels for compatibility with popular track brands. Sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, dual speakers, and full DCC functionality; in DC mode, engine, horn, and bell sounds remain active. The model is accurately painted and printed to match prototype schemes, designed for HO layouts with a minimum 18" radius (22" recommended), and packaged securely to protect the model during storage.
