HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound, UP #9599 (ATHG-1214)

GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Union Pacific livery is an HO-scale model designed for realistic freight operations on a layout. This detailed unit combines onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and DCC compatibility with authentic Union Pacific detailing, including illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and illuminated number boards, plus etched, see-through walkway steps for added scale realism.

Under the hood, the locomotive uses a Genesis drive with a heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel drive, a 5-pole skew-wound motor, and precise flywheels for smooth, quiet operation. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped versions feature dual cube speakers for richer audio that works in both DC and DCC, with full DCC function support and CV-based customization. The model is meticulously painted and detailed—including a detailed fuel tank, cab interior, and RP25-contoured wheels—with a minimum recommended radius of 22 inches (18 inches minimum) to ensure smooth operation on a variety of layouts.
