HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive ARZC #4403 (ATHG-1212)

GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive ARZC 4403. This HO-scale model faithfully recreates the GE Dash 9-44CW freight locomotive in ARZC livery, road number 4403. It captures essential details like illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and number boards, plus etched see-through walkway steps and a full cab interior visible through clear windows. The locomotive rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline, a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation. RP25 wheels ensure compatibility with most HO track, while LED lighting, scale handrails, and body-mounted couplers deliver a lifelike, ready-to-run model.

Version options include a DCC-ready model with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM for decoder installation, and a sound-equipped variant with onboard DCC decoder and Tsunami2 sound, dual speakers, and full DCC compatibility. The sound model supports precise slow-speed control and can be used in MU lashups with lead unit horn and bells, with CVs adjustable via a provided chart. ARZC 4403 configuration features no heralds and a large-dome antenna, reflecting prototype detail; for layout considerations, the model is designed for HO curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended 22 inches for best performance.
