HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive, UP#9733 (ATHG31578)

An HO-scale Union Pacific Dash 9-44CW diesel locomotive, this model is a meticulously detailed ready-to-run representation of UP’s mid-1990s freight power. It reproduces CNW units patched into UP service, complete with era-appropriate UP livery, patching and logos, burn marks, and ghost outlines of former CNW road numbers. A GPS dome reflects later-era configurations, and a Leslie RS3L horn plus a large snowplow add to its prototypical presence on the layout, making it ideal for mainline scenes and roster-building alike.

From the Genesis line, the locomotive showcases high-fidelity detailing and durable performance. It features LED ground lights, front and rear walkway lights, and etched see-through steps, along with a full cab interior and see-through cab windows. Available in both non-sound and sound-equipped variants, it includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 for authentic horn and engine sounds, dual speakers, and complete DCC functionality. The model is Quick Plug 21-pin DCC ready, rides on RP25 wheels, and benefits from a heavy die-cast frame for traction; minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for smooth running on HO layouts.
