HO AC4400CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound, UP #5593 (ATHG-2060)

An HO-scale GE AC4400CW diesel locomotive from Athearn Genesis, finished in Union Pacific livery with UP #5593, built for realistic operation on HO layouts. It combines prototype-accurate detailing with powerful, smooth performance, including see-through cab windows and a full cab interior for an authentic in-cab experience.

Inside, a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound drives lifelike engine, horn, and bell effects through dual speakers, with compatibility for both DC and DCC operation and full DCC functionality. The Genesis driveline features a 5-pole skew-wound motor, machined flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for quiet, confident pulling power, supported by all-wheel drive and RP25 wheels on a heavy die-cast frame. Lighting includes illuminated number boards, ground lights above the front truck (where applicable), and walkway and marker lights, complemented by etched walkways, fine-scale handrails, windshield wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, and a detailed fuel-tank assembly. The model includes flexible MU hoses, a trainline hose, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), with road-number variations and grime-ready styling for weathering. The minimum operating radius is 18 inches, with a 22-inch radius recommended for smooth operation.
