HO G2 AC4400CW DCC & Sound Locomotive CSX #1 (ATHG31650)

This HO-scale Genesis G2 AC4400CW locomotive with DCC and sound reproduces CSX No. 1 in meticulous detail. Fully assembled and ready to run, it features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects, plus LED lighting with illuminated number boards, front and rear walkway lights, and ground lights. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and reliable electrical pickup, the model delivers strong pulling power and smooth operation, while RP25 wheels and McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible) ensure realistic handling and compatibility with other HO equipment.

CSX-specific detailing includes front ditch lights, a prime air dryer, low-number boards, and a CSX “tow-chain” under the walkway. The No. 1 unit is one of CSX’s early AC4400CWs and carries period-correct features such as central air intake, bolted fuel tank, uneven rear grab irons, and vertical handrails, with variations seen across other road numbers like #17 and #420. The model captures see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched walkway steps, and scale handrails for a true-to-life appearance, plus a grime-ready finish that’s an ideal starting point for weathering. Sound-equipped versions run in both DC and DCC, with full NMRA-compliant functions in DCC mode, delivering lifelike operation and control on hobby layouts.
