HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound ARZC #4400 (ATHG-1231)

HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive with DCC and sound in ARZC livery, road number 4400, recreates a classic late-1990s mainline freight powerhouse for model railroaders. This detailed model includes an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering authentic engine and horn tones and functioning on both DC and DCC layouts for versatile operation.

Beyond its faithful appearance, the locomotive features illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and number boards, plus see-through cab windows and a full cab interior. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis-style drive—featuring a 5-pole motor, precision flywheels, and all-wheel power—for smooth, quiet pulling. Scale-detail elements include body-mounted knuckle couplers, RP25 wheel profiles, LED lighting, and a detailed fuel tank. The model is DCC-ready via Quick Plug, with on-board decoders compatible with both DC and DCC and full DCC functions, and road-number-specific features for ARZC 4400 (no heralds, a large dome antenna, exhaust stack cover). Minimum operating radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
