HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive BNSF #4790 (ATHG31568)

HO-scale Dash 9-44CW locomotive in BNSF livery, unit 4790, a ready-to-run model designed to faithfully reproduce the late-1990s Dash 9 freight power on HO layouts. This detailed replica delivers authentic silhouette and period-appropriate detailing, making it a convincing centerpiece for realistic lashups and operations on busy BNSF mains or yard scenes.

Designed for authentic operation, this Dash 9-44CW features LED lighting with ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and illuminated number boards, plus etched see-through walkway steps and a full cab interior. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with RP25-contoured wheels and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for reliable pulling power, while all-wheel drive and electrical pickup ensure smooth performance on diverse HO layouts. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug and a 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped versions add a Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds. Fully assembled and ready to run, it’s suitable for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) and compatible with standard RP25 track for reliable operation.
