HO G2 AC4400CW KCS #4601 Model Locomotive (ATHG31554)

HO G2 AC4400CW Locomotive in Kansas City Southern livery (KCS 4601) is a ready-to-run HO-scale model that faithfully reproduces GE’s AC4400CW freight locomotive in the distinctive Southern Belle scheme. It captures prototype detail such as late-body styling, PTC antennas, GPS domes, and a welded fuel tank, delivering an authentic, display‑worthy locomotive for modern layouts.

Designed for HO layouts, this model rides on a heavy die-cast frame with Genesis driveline and all‑wheel drive for strong traction and smooth, quiet operation. It’s offered in both standard DC and DCC‑ready configurations, with Quick Plug plug‑and‑play technology and a 21‑pin NEM connector for easy decoder installation. LED lighting includes illuminated number boards and front/rear lights, and the model features a full cab interior with see‑through cab windows, etched walkways, and scale handrails. McHenry scale‑knuckle couplers (Kadee‑compatible) and RP25 wheel contours ensure realistic handling, while a sound‑equipped version adds onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual speakers for authentic engine noises, horn, and bell. A primed‑for‑grime finish provides a ready weathering base for a true “in‑service” look.
