HO AC4400CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound FXE #4506 (ATHG31785)

An HO-scale AC4400CW Locomotive modeled after Ferromex FXE 4506, equipped with DCC and sound to bring authentic late‑1990s power to an HO layout. This detailed model recreates the appearance and configuration Ferromex specified, including a large plow, low-mount number boards, pilot-mounted ditch lights, and GE‑style self-steering trucks designed to reduce track wear and improve traction on curves, complemented by the distinctive K3 horn.

The layout-ready version features DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector for easy setup, plus prototype-accurate paint and lighting. LEDs illuminate the number boards, ground lights above the front truck, front and rear walkway lights, and marker lights, while see-through cab windows reveal a full interior and fine details such as etched walkway steps, Celcon handrails, windshields, lift rings, wire grab irons, and a detailed fuel tank. A heavy die-cast frame and Genesis driveline provide strong pulling power and smooth, quiet operation, with all-wheel drive and electrical pickup and RP25 wheels for broad layout compatibility; McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible) complete the realistic coupling. Sound-equipped units add onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual cube speakers, and operation in both DC and DCC with full DCC functions; engine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC as well, with CV adjustments and a chart included for MU lashups and performance tuning.
