HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive BNSF Heritage I #960 (ATHG-1199)

An HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive in BNSF Heritage I livery (unit 960) designed for realistic mainline freight operation on a model railroad. This highly detailed model captures prototype cues such as illuminated ground lights, front and rear walkway lights, etched see-through walkway steps, and a full cab interior, delivering a striking, lifelike diesel that looks the part on the rails.

Under the hood, it offers modern, versatile operation: DCC-ready with a Quick Plug 21-pin NM connector for easy decoder upgrades, a heavy die-cast frame, a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet pulling power. All-wheel electrical pickup and RP25-contoured wheels ensure reliable performance on most HO track, while body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers add authentic coupling. Sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, operable in both DC and DCC with full function control; CV changes are supported and a CV chart is included. Minimum layout radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best results.
