However, the venerable Dash 9 of the time was ordered in few numbers by the UP - only 40 to be exact. Here we have 4 of those examples depicted late in their careers; repainted “lightning stripe” scheme, yellow frame stripe and wings on the nose. These unique repaints have many nuances; chiefly, they do not feature the American flag on their flanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt by GE from 1993 until 2004, the Dash 9-44CW and its variants were the definitive North American mainline freight locomotives of their time, with an impressive 3668 total units built. Constructed for US railroads from coast to coast, the units were also ordered by Canadian roads, and significant export orders went to Australia and Brazil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new Athearn Genesis 2.0 Dash 9-44CW is equally as impressive as its prototype, with a host of railroad specific details. From the Canadianspecific Dash 9-44CWL version with its 4-window cab to the CNW units with their unique roof vents, these models take the Genesis 2.0 line to new heights. Standard on all models are Athearn’s superior paint colors researched from the prototypes to be As Close to Real as it Gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepainted lightning stripe scheme for 2012+ appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal UP ordered units in 9700 series (rather than ex -CNW or -SP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarying paint schemes per repaint detail, including different placement of the “lighting stripe” and Union Pacific shields, as well as varying warning labels per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved engine compartment hood profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly ‘tabbed’ dynamic brake intake panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly style dynamic brake exhaust fascia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarious A\/C cabinets based on prototype photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified power assembly hood doors on top of engine compartment with added hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound version features onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDASH 9 SERIES LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately –painted and –printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber MU hoses for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber trainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee through cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp; breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSander lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry scale knuckle couplers - Kadee compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOUND EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39359045206182,"sku":"ATHG31522","price":212.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g31522-ho-scale-dash-9-44cw-union-pacific-up-9710.jpg?v=1614880228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g31522-ho-scale-dash-9-44cw-union-pacific-up-9710","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
