HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound, NS #8772 (ATHG31673)

HO-scale Dash 9-44CW locomotive with DCC and sound in Norfolk Southern livery brings authentic mainline freight power to an HO layout. This model recreates the 4,000-horsepower Dash 9-44CW class from the 1990s, including ditch lights that flash with the horn on sound-equipped versions and a Nathan K5LAR24 horn. Ready to run straight from the box, it features illuminated lighting and a detailed cab interior to enhance operating sessions.

Built around a Genesis drive for smooth, reliable operation, the model rides on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25 wheel contours for easy tracking on common HO track. It includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, with engine, horn, and bell sounds accessible in both DC and DCC modes. LED ground lights, front and rear walkway lights, and see-through cab windows add realism, while the minimum turning radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended). Fully assembled and ready to run, it’s a standout addition to any NS-themed roster.
