HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive GECX #4809 (ATHG31572)

HO Scale Dash 9-44CW Locomotive in GECX markings recreates a former BNSF Dash 9-44CW patched for GECX service. This ready-to-run model captures the patch lettering and GECX reporting marks, including a primered replacement air conditioner and PTC antennas for a realistic late-era appearance. It features illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lighting, and number boards, while the cab is see-through with a detailed interior to bring the locomotive to life on the layout.

Built on a heavy die-cast frame for traction and durability, the model benefits from all-wheel drive and reliable electrical pickup, with RP25 wheel contours for smooth operation on common HO track. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector for easy decoder upgrades; sound-equipped versions add a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, with full DCC functionality and NMRA compatibility. The locomotive is accurately painted and fully assembled, packaged securely for storage, and designed for HO layouts with a minimum 18" radius (22" is recommended). Optional Primed-for-Grime styling provides an in-service appearance and serves as a ready-made starting point for weathering with grime and rust.
