HO G2 AC4400CW C&NW #8801 Locomotive (ATHG31547)

HO Scale CNW AC4400CW Locomotive, road number 8801. This fully assembled, ready-to-run HO model faithfully reproduces Chicago & Northwestern’s powerful AC4400CW in the distinctive Lighting Stripe scheme with an Operation Lifesaver decoration, capturing the look and presence of CNW’s late-1990s freight power often used hauling long coal trains.

Designed for realism and smooth operation, the Genesis G2 AC4400CW features DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NM connector, lifelike LED lighting (including illuminated number boards, ground lighting above the front truck, walkway lights, and marker lights where applicable), etched walkways, a see-through cab with full interior, and a heavy die-cast frame for traction. It rides on RP25 wheels with all-wheel drive and fixed couplers that are McHenry scale knuckle (Kadee-compatible). Sound-equipped versions include a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects, while DC-compatible variants and “Primed for grime” weathering options offer additional display versatility. The model also reflects CNW-era details like detailed fuel tanks, hoses, and other subtle features that enhance in-service realism on modern freight layouts.
