Description
HO-scale Dash 9-44CW locomotive with DCC and sound in Union Pacific livery, road number 9675. This model recreates a CNW-patched UP unit from the mid-1990s, including patching, logo placement, and burn marks, with the as-delivered 1994 UP paint scheme also represented. It adds a modeler-installed GPS dome for later-era operations, a Leslie RS3L horn, and a large snowplow. Built on the Genesis Dash 9-44CW platform, it features onboard DCC and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for authentic operation on DC or DCC layouts.
Attention to detail is evident in the lighting and scale features: illuminated ground lights above the front trucks, front and rear walkway lights, and number boards, plus etched see-through walkway steps and a full cab interior. The model rides on a heavy die-cast frame for traction, with scale handrails, detailed fuel tanks, and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers on RP25 wheels for reliable running on standard HO track. Sound-equipped versions offer full DCC functionality, multiple-unit lashups, and CV-based customization, with a minimum recommended radius of 18 inches and 22 inches preferred for best performance on typical HO layouts.
