HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound, UP #9713 (ATHG31677)

HO-scale Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Union Pacific livery, UP #9713. This ready-to-run HO model captures the Dash 9-44CW’s distinctive profile in UP’s mid-1990s scheme, with prototype touches such as CNW patching and logo placement to reflect the unit’s history.

Inside, the locomotive houses a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate on both DC and DCC. It includes Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector for easy setup, LED lighting for front and rear operation, illuminated number boards, and a detailed cab interior visible through see-through cab windows. The model rides on a robust Genesis-era drive with a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers with scale handrails for a lifelike appearance. A GPS dome is included for later-era operations, and it’s ready to run on HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for the smoothest performance.
