Description

The headliner of GEs 1993 freight locomotive line was the 6 motor, 4400hp C44-9W Dash 9. Slightly longer than its predecessors at 73 feet, 2 inches, the C44-9W used a new HiAd, bolsterless low-weight truck that was designed for better grip on the rails no matter the weather. A split cooling system lowered engine temperatures and fuel consumption as well, granting these locomotives a longer operation life and lower overhead costs.
Model Features:
Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
Directional Headlight and illuminated preprinted numberboards
Prototypical ditchlight location
Kato friendly magnetic Knuckle coupler
DCC friendly Mechanism ready for Drop In Decoder Installation
