HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound, KCS #4404 (ATHG31670)

HO-scale Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Kansas City Southern livery, road number 4404. This highly detailed, ready-to-run HO model faithfully reproduces the real Dash 9-44CW fleet, including road-number specific artwork and the “patched” look from its BNSF heritage, along with the K3LA horn. The 4404 variant features a silver replacement horn and faded stripes on the engine compartment, mirroring prototype details.

Powered by a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, this locomotive delivers authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds on both DC and DCC layouts. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet pulling power, and includes LED lighting, etched see‑through walkway steps, a full cab interior, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers. Ready to run out of the box, it uses Quick Plug 21-pin NM connectors for easy DCC setup, features a Primed-for-Grime weathering option to replicate an in-service look, and is designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
