HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive QNSL #413 (ATHG-1210)

HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive in QNSL livery brings authentic late-1990s freight power to modern model railroad layouts. This Genesis-class diesel captures the distinctive silhouette and detailed features, including illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, lit number boards, and etched, see-through walkway steps for added realism in both daytime and night scenes.

Inside, the model offers a full cab interior visible through see-through cab windows, along with scale details such as coupler cut levers, MU hoses, trainline hose, lift rings, wire grab irons, and sander lines. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline, a five-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, plus all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25-contoured wheels for reliable performance on most tracks. LED lighting enhances visibility, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges adds prototype fidelity. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector for easy digital control, and sound-equipped versions feature onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual speakers, full NMRA-compatible functions, and CV-adjustable performance. Prototype-inspired paint and printing, secure packaging, and a minimum 18-inch radius (22 inches recommended) support reliable operation on a wide range of layouts.
