HO ES44DC Locomotive CSX YN3 #5226 (ATHG83089)

The HO-scale CSX ES44DC locomotive in YN3 livery, road number 5226, is a detailed CSX diesel model designed for HO-scale railroading. This ready-to-run locomotive recreates the GE Evolution Series ES44DC with authentic CSX colors and markings, giving a realistic CSX power unit for an HO layout.

Designed for flexible operation on DC or DCC layouts, the model includes CSX-prototype details such as illuminated ditch lights, low and high headlights, a large plow, rear drop step, and tinted cab windows, with the As-Delivered YN3 scheme for road 5226. It features a robust Genesis-style drivetrain with a heavy die-cast frame and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for smooth, reliable operation, plus fine-scale handrails and detailed underbody components. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector keeps installation straightforward, and sound-equipped variants add a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes, with full NMRA-compatible function control and CV adjustability. Minimum curve radii of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) ensure smooth operation on typical HO layouts, making this CSX ES44DC a capable and realistic addition to a roster on your layout.
