HO GE Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound ARZC #4401 (ATHG-1301)

An HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive with DCC control and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound in ARZC #4401 livery, featuring heralds and Operation Lifesaver logos. This highly detailed model brings late-1990s mainline freight power to HO layouts, with authentic lighting such as illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, LED number boards, and a see-through cab with a full interior to enhance realism.

Powered by a Genesis-style drive with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation and strong pulling power, the locomotive uses all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for reliable performance on standard HO tracks. It houses an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for robust audio, while DC operation remains available and full DCC functionality is supported. The ARZC 4401 variant includes heralds, OLS logos, skate-style antennas, a large dome antenna, exhaust stack cover, and other prototype-accurate details, all faithfully painted and printed from reference materials. Minimum curve radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended), and a CV chart is included for easy programming.
