HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive BNSF Wedge #4484 (ATHG-1204)

HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive in BNSF wedge livery, built for realistic freight service on model railroad layouts. This highly detailed model captures prototype features such as illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and etched, see-through walkway steps, delivering authentic appearance on a wide range of layouts. DCC-ready operation is supported with a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector for easy digital control, and sound-equipped versions add onboard decoders and Tsunami2 sound for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds.

Power comes from a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain that delivers smooth, quiet operation and reliable current pickup. A heavy die-cast frame provides strong traction, while all-wheel drive and RP25-contoured wheels ensure stable tracking on common HO tracks. Realistic details include a full cab interior with see-through cab windows, a detailed fuel tank with gauges and breather pipes, scale handrails and lift rings, coupler cut levers, MU hoses, trainline hose, and wire grab irons. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for optimal performance, and packaging protects the model during storage.
