HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound CN #2522 (ATHG-1227)

HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive with DCC and sound in CN livery #2522. This high-detail diesel model brings authentic late-1990s freight power to HO layouts, delivering realistic operation and controllable sound.

From illuminated ground lights above the front trucks and walkway lighting to etched see-through steps, the detailing aims for prototype-like realism. The Genesis-driven chassis uses a heavy die-cast frame, a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision gears, and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet pulling, plus LED lighting and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for reliable hookups. The DCC-ready Quick Plug system with a 21-pin NEM connector makes digital setup straightforward, and RP25 wheel contours help the locomotive run smoothly on most brands of track. Sound-equipped versions feature onboard DCC with SoundTrax Tsunami2, dual cube speakers, and full DCC functionality; they operate in both DC and DCC, with CV adjustments available and a CV chart included. Prototypical accuracy is reinforced by authentic paint schemes and detailed cab and walkway features. The model is designed for minimum 18-inch curves, with 22-inch curves recommended for best performance.
