Description
HO-scale GE AC4400CW Diesel Locomotive in Norfolk Southern livery is a detailed Athearn Genesis model designed for serious HO railroading. It faithfully replicates the prototype with accurate paint schemes and scale detailing, including see-through cab windows and a full cab interior. LED lighting highlights life-like features such as illuminated number boards, ground lights, walkway lights, and marker lights, while a Quick Plug 21-pin NM connector makes DCC installation straightforward.
Built on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline and a five-pole skew-wound motor, this locomotive delivers smooth, quiet operation and strong pulling power. It runs on RP25 wheels with knuckle couplers that are Kadee compatible for reliable HO-track performance. The lineup includes NS and other road-name schemes with road-number-specific details such as NS 5610 (large body primer patch), 5627 (no nose logo), and 5649 (heat-worn/primer patch work). Sound-equipped versions feature Onboard DCC with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, with full DCC functionality and CV programming; all models are primed for grime, providing a ready-to-weather foundation for an authentic in-service look.
