HO AC4400CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound (ATHG31794)

HO AC4400CW Locomotive with DCC and Sound in the Quebec Cartier Railway edition is a detailed HO-scale model designed for authentic operation on modern layouts. It features a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC modes. The model faithfully reproduces mid- to late-production AC4400CW characteristics, including a long-hood red beacon for cold-weather operation, low-mounted number boards, walkway ditch lights, and a five-chime horn, paired with GE-style self-steering trucks for credible tracking on your layout.

Built around a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain, this locomotive provides smooth, quiet pulling power and reliable current pickup on all wheels. It carries heavy die-cast construction and an array of fine details—see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched walkways, scale handrails, windshield wipers, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges. DCC operation unlocks full function control, including MU lashups and CV-based sound tuning, with quick-plug 21-pin DCC readiness and expansive lighting that enhances prototypical operation on a busy layout.
