HO GEN AC4400CW Locomotive w/DCC and Sound, NS #3992 (ATHG-2069)

An HO-scale GE AC4400CW diesel locomotive from Athearn Genesis, finished in Norfolk Southern livery with road number 3992, built to bring authentic modern freight power to an HO layout. It comes equipped with DCC and sound for realistic operation, delivering prototypical engine and horn cues as you run.

Beyond its impressive detailing, the model features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and all-wheel drive with reliable electrical pickup. Fine-scale detailing includes etched walkways, Celcon handrails, see-through cab windows, and a full cab interior, complemented by LED lighting, illuminated number boards, and front/rear walkway lights. The onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers provides rich audio and works in both DC and DCC modes, with NMRA-compatible functions in DCC. A Quick Plug 21-pin DCC interface keeps installation straightforward, while RP25 wheel contours ensure smooth operation on popular HO track brands. It’s primed for grime modeling, with faded base colors that mirror the prototype, and is designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for best performance around curves.
