Trains|Kato 176-3613 N Scale Union Pacific C44-9W Diesel Locomotive #9564 – Model Train Junction: Quality Parts and Art Supplies

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. The Chicago & North Western railroad, long since incorporated into the Union Pacific, lives on to this day in the form of C44-9W #8646 and #8701, the last surviving locomotives still to bear their original C&NW colors. These two locomotives are a favorite of C&NW followers, and Kato is proud to announce their production in both N and HO Scales in a limited run to pay homage to these long-lasting locomotives. This locomotive features: DCC friendly mechanism, Directional headlights with illuminated ditchlights and numberboards, Powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels, and Drop in DCC compatible with the Digitrax DN163K1B or Train Control Systems K1D4.
