Description
HO-scale GE Dash 9-44CW locomotive in CN livery, road number 2522, designed to deliver authentic mainline freight power on HO layouts. This highly detailed model captures the Dash 9-44CW’s distinctive silhouette, including illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, LED number boards, etched see-through walkway steps, and a full cab interior for realistic operation.
Built for dependable performance, it rides on a heavy die-cast frame with Genesis drive, a five-pole motor, precision flywheels, and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation. Features like RP25-contoured wheels, body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers, and LED lighting enhance realism, while DCC-ready Quick Plug with a 21-pin NEM connector eases upgrades. Sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes; CVs allow configuring multiple-unit lashups. Minimum curve radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended, and the model is finished in prototype-accurate paint and detailing.
