HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound BNSF 4731 (ATHG31667)

HO-scale Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound in BNSF 4731 is a ready-to-run model designed to bring authentic mainline freight power to HO layouts. Reproducing a stripe-free BNSF scheme from the late 1990s, the unit carries only the road number and reporting marks on the cab and features a replacement nose door borrowed from a Superfleet unit for added realism.

Inside, the model packs an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering locomotive audio that works in both DC and DCC with full function control. The Dash 9-44CW uses a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, along with all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25 wheel contours for reliable tracking. Details include illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, number boards, etched see-through walkway steps, and a detailed cab interior, plus a heavy die-cast frame, PTC antennas, and a replacement nose door. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
