HO G2 AC4400CW DCC and Sound Locomotive KCS #4587 (ATHG31653)

HO scale G2 AC4400CW locomotive with DCC and sound, KCS #4587, in the Southern Belle paint scheme. This fully assembled, ready-to-run model faithfully recreates the late-generation AC4400CW with detailed exterior cues and a full interior cab. It includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and two speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in DCC and authentic effects when operated in DC. Realistic lighting includes illuminated number boards, ground lighting above the front truck, as well as illuminated front and rear walkway lights and marker lights, while period details such as the Nathan K5LAR24 horn, PTC antennas and GPS domes, a moved central air intake, and a welded fuel tank are captured in the Southern Belle finish with etched walkways, scale handrails, and see-through cab windows.

Power comes from a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation. All-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup help maintain steady current on HO layouts, and RP25 wheel contours ensure compatibility with common HO track. The model rides on a heavy die-cast frame for traction and pulling power and includes brass horns, McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible), flexible MU hoses, lift rings, wire grab irons, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges and breather pipes. It’s primed for grime, providing a realistic starting point for weathering and a convincing in-service presence.
