{"product_id":"athg31663","title":"HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC \u0026 Sound, UP #9741 (ATHG31663)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO-scale Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC \u0026amp; Sound in Union Pacific livery, UP #9741, is a detailed, ready-to-run model that recreates a late-1990s UP Dash 9-44CW, including CNW heritage patches. It includes a modeler-installed GPS dome for later-era operations and a Leslie RS3L horn for authentic sound, along with a large snowplow and distinctive UP logo details on side doors. Built in 1994 as part of UP's original Dash 9-44CW order, this locomotive is designed to bring mainline power and prototype nuance to an HO layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eOn the track, the model delivers a wealth of scale-accurate features and dependable operation: LED ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and illuminated number boards; etched, see-through walkway steps; a full cab interior; body-mounted scale knuckle couplers; a heavy die-cast frame and all-wheel drive for steady pulling power; RP25 wheel contours for smooth running; and a DCC-ready design with Quick Plug technology and a 21-pin NEM connector for easy decoder installation. Sound-equipped versions include onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, two speakers, and full NMRA-compatible functions when in DCC mode. The model runs on DC or DCC layouts, with CV-based tuning options, and carries a minimum recommended radius of 18 inches (22 inches preferred). It also reflects the “Primed for grime” approach, providing a realistic starting point to add grime and rust to match the prototype's appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924951810100,"sku":"ATHG31663","price":369.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG31663.jpg?v=1782147351","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg31663","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
