HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound UP #9733 (ATHG31678)

HO Dash 9-44CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Union Pacific livery. This HO-scale model faithfully reproduces the Dash 9-44CW locomotive operated by Union Pacific, finished in the 1994-era UP paint scheme and carrying UP road number 9733. It includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for authentic engine, horn, and bell audio, and a GPS dome for later-era operations. Fully assembled and ready to run on standard HO layouts.

On the rails, it delivers robust, realistic performance with a Genesis driveline featuring a 5-pole motor and all-wheel drive for smooth operation, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers. LED ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and illuminated number boards add to realism, while RP25-contoured wheels ensure compatibility with common HO track. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector and can operate on both DC and DCC, with full NMRA-compatible functions in DCC mode; minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended.
