HO ES44AC Locomotive with DCC and Sound, CPR #8781 (ATHG83198)

HO-scale ES44AC Locomotive with DCC and Sound in CPR #8781 commemorative livery is a detailed HO model of Canadian Pacific’s ES44AC freight locomotives. It recreates CP’s mid-production appearance, blending the early cab and nose profile with long hood doors and raised radiator grills and heat exchanger details for an authentic CP power look on a modern freight layout. The commemorative paint scheme honors Hapag-Lloyd’s container service partnership, making it a distinctive centerpiece for a Canadian Pacific–themed scene.

Designed for HO layouts, this ready-to-run locomotive includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate in both DC and DCC modes. It features CP-specific details such as no engine-compartment side grab irons, raised radiator grills and heat exchanger, tinted cab windows, and illuminated ditch lights, along with a 5,000-gallon fuel tank and other scale details. The model uses a 21-pin NEM connector for easy DCC installation and is built to provide smooth operation and reliable current pickup on standard HO track.
