HO Dash 8-40CW Norfolk Southern Locomotive Model (BAC68513)

This HO-scale Norfolk Southern Dash 8-40CW locomotive delivers authentic GE styling for Norfolk Southern freight operation on an HO layout. Recreating the Dash 8-40CW’s distinctive profile with roadname-specific cab configurations, it features a detailed cab interior, clear windows, and painted crew figures to bring NS power to life on the layout.

It’s equipped with a Keep-Alive device to maintain power through brief electrical interruptions, a precision motor and all-wheel drive for reliable pulling, and directional LED headlights with Rule 17 dimming. The model rides on blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses magnetically operated E‑Z Mate Mark II couplers at both ends. DCC Sound Value by TCS provides sound, speed, direction, and lighting control with a dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder, and Voice-guided Audio Assist helps set up decoder features. Additional details include see-through trucks with detailed sideframes, separately applied handrails, grab irons, brake hoses, MU cables, uncoupling levers, horns, exhaust stack, windshield wipers, and mirrors. The locomotive measures about 9.8 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 2 inches high, and it is designed to run best on 18-inch radius curves or larger.
