HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive CN #2506 (ATHG-1205)

HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive CN #2506 is a highly detailed HO-scale model built to bring authentic mainline freight power to a layout. This Genesis-class locomotive recreates the Dash 9-44CW’s rugged silhouette with CN-specific touches, including illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lighting, etched see-through walkway steps, see-through cab windows, and a full cab interior painted to reflect the prototype.

Under the shell, the Dash 9-44CW delivers a smooth, reliable ride thanks to a Genesis drive with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain. It rides on an all-wheel-drive chassis with reliable electrical pickup, RP25-contoured wheels, and a heavy die-cast frame for traction. DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector simplifies digital upgrades, and LED lighting ensures durable operation. Fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank with fillers and breather pipes, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers add realism. Sound-equipped variants feature onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual speakers, and full DCC functionality, with NMRA-compatible functions and adjustable CVs (CV chart included). Prototypical accuracy is reflected in authentic paint schemes, and the model is designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended radius of 22 inches.
