HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound, BNSF #4790 (ATHG31668)

HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound, BNSF 4790 is an HO-scale diesel model designed for ready-to-run operation. It faithfully reproduces the Dash 9-44CW in BNSF livery and includes onboard DCC and sound, delivering an authentic freight locomotive experience as it pulls trains on a layout. Prototypical details like illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, number boards, and etched see-through walkway steps help capture the look of the real engine.

Built around a heavy die-cast frame for traction and durability, the model features LED lighting, body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, and a robust drive for smooth, quiet operation. The DCC-ready 21-pin NEM interface makes decoder upgrades straightforward, and the sound-equipped version delivers a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC, with CV tuning options for fine control. Minimum curve radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) on most HO layouts, and the model arrives fully assembled and ready to run.
