HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive NS #8772 (ATHG31573)
HO Scale Norfolk Southern Dash 9-44CW Locomotive, NS #8772. This highly detailed model recreates the Dash 9-44CW in Norfolk Southern’s late-1990s scheme, complete with the rooftop air conditioners that give these units the nickname “Top Hats.†Designed for HO layouts, it delivers a realistic freight-hauling presence with accurate paint, lights, and scale detailing for authentic operation on model railroads.
Built on the Genesis platform, the locomotive combines a heavy die-cast frame with a capable drive system for smooth, reliable pulling and quiet operation. It features illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and number boards, along with see-through cab windows and a full cab interior for authentic detail. The model is DCC-ready with a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped versions add a Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers and full NMRA-compatible functions, operable in both DC and DCC. Plan for an 18-inch minimum radius (22 inches recommended) on typical HO layouts to ensure smooth operation.
