HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound, BNSF Wedge (ATHG-1222)
HO Scale GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound in BNSF Wedge livery is a detailed HO‑scale model designed for realistic freight operations on model railroad layouts. This Genesis‑class diesel pairs an accurate Dash 9‑44CW silhouette with an onboard DCC decoder and Tsunami2 sound, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell effects in both DC and DCC control. It features illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, number boards, etched see‑through walkway steps, a full cab interior visible through the cab windows, and other scale‑true details that bring the prototype to life on the layout.
Powered by a Genesis driveline with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi‑link drivetrain, this model offers smooth, quiet power and reliable performance. All‑wheel drive and all‑wheel electrical pickup help maintain steady current flow on a wide range of layouts, while RP25 contour wheels ensure compatibility with popular track brands. Fine Celcon handrails, body‑mounted scale McHenry knuckle couplers, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges and breather pipes enhance realism, supported by a heavy die‑cast frame for traction. Minimum radius is 18 inches and 22 inches is recommended; CV changes enable tuning and MU lashups, with a CV chart included for reference.
