Description
An HO-scale GE Dash 8-40CW Locomotive in Union Pacific livery, this model brings late-1990s freight power to HO layouts with authentic General Electric styling and roadname-specific cab configurations. It includes a detailed cab interior visible through clear windows and painted crew figures, delivering a convincing UP powerhouse for your railroad.
Powered by a precision die-cast frame motor with an all-wheel-drive chassis, it delivers smooth operation on HO tracks. Directional LED headlights with Rule 17 dimming, horn-activated ditch lights, and a Keep-Alive device help maintain operation through interruptions. The DCC Sound Value package by TCS provides sound, speed, direction, and lighting control through a dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder, and Voice-guided Audio Assist simplifies setup. Additional realism includes see-through trucks with detailed sideframes and piping, separately applied handrails, grab irons, hoses, and horns, blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours, and magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers at both ends. Roadname-specific cab configurations and authentic builder’s graphics complete the look, with best performance on HO curves of 18 inches radius or larger.
