Atlas HO Dash 8-40CW DCC Sound Ready UP 9427 is a detailed HO scale model based on the six-axle GE Dash 8-40CW diesel locomotives delivered with the North American Safety Cab. This highly detailed Atlas HO Scale Master Silver model captures the distinctive appearance and performance of one of General Electric's most successful freight locomotives.
The 4,000-horsepower Dash 8-40CW was produced by General Electric between 1989 and 1993 as a follow-up to the successful Dash 8-40C locomotive. The most recognizable feature of this locomotive was GE's introduction of its wide-nose North American Safety Cab, a design that became a common sight on railroads throughout the United States.
The Atlas HO Dash 8-40CW DCC Sound Ready UP 9427 represents a locomotive type purchased in large numbers by major railroads including Conrail, CSX, Santa Fe, and Union Pacific. Many of these units continue to serve in mainline and heavy-haul freight operations, while others have moved to secondary owners or rebuild programs.
This detailed model features a five-pole, skew-wound motor with dual flywheels for smooth operation, directional LED lighting, working front and/or rear ditch lights as appropriate, Accumate® magnetic knuckle couplers, accurate decoration, and roadname-specific body details.
This sound-ready locomotive includes a DCC socket and built-in speaker for easy installation of a DCC or sound decoder when you are ready to upgrade. The Atlas HO Dash 8-40CW DCC Sound Ready UP 9427 is an excellent choice for HO scale model railroaders looking to add a realistic modern freight locomotive to their layout.
