HO G2 AC4400CW KCS #4587 Locomotive (ATHG31553)

HO-scale G2 AC4400CW locomotive in Kansas City Southern’s Southern Belle livery, numbered 4587, is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model built for HO layouts. It faithfully reproduces the AC4400CW’s muscular profile with meticulous detail—etched walkways, see-through cab windows, and a full cab interior—while LED lighting brings the model to life with illuminated number boards, front and rear ditch lights, and walkway lights. The powertrain combines a Genesis five-pole motor with all-wheel drive and a heavy die-cast frame for steady pulling power on standard HO track, complemented by RP25 wheels for reliable tracking.

Two configurations are available: a sound-equipped version with a DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, dual speakers, and full DCC functionality; and a non-sound DC-ready variant that can be upgraded later. Both use Quick Plug plug-and-play wiring with a 21-pin NEM connector for easy DCC setup and come in the KCS Southern Belle scheme. This model is designed to be weathering-friendly, providing a realistic starting point for grime and wear, and includes authentic features such as brass horns, McHenry scale knuckle couplers, etched walkways, see-through cab windows, and a detailed fuel tank to enhance realism on modern-era layouts.
