HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive QNSL #407 (ATHG-1209)

HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive in QNSL livery, number 407, is a highly detailed model designed to bring authentic North American freight power to a hobby layout. Built to the Genesis standard, it emphasizes prototype accuracy and reliable performance, delivering a faithful representation of late-model Dash 9 power ready to pull long freight trains on modern layouts.

It features LED lighting with ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and illuminated number boards, plus etched see-through walkway steps and a full cab interior visible through scale windows. A heavy die-cast frame provides traction and pulling power, while RP25-contoured wheels and all-wheel electrical pickup ensure smooth operation on most popular track brands. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, with fine Celcon handrails and a range of scale details such as coupler cut levers, MU hoses, trainline hoses, windscreen wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, and sander lines. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance. Sound-equipped variants include an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in DCC mode, plus full NMRA-compatible functions and a CV chart for tuning.
