Some units were equipped with an APU (auxiliary power unit) mounted on the walkway, which operated to provide basic locomotive systems while the prime mover was shut down, potentially saving fuel. The units on offer are from the 1998 order.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#9131\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTC antenna arrays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard parking brake\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\u003eGENESIS 2.0 FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy integrating and pioneering some of the latest model advancements in the industry, Athearn is redefining model fidelity with Genesis 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched, see-through walkway steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated ground lights above front trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated front and rear walkway lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOUND EQUPPED 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\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39299814195366,"sku":"ATHG31538","price":221.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g31538-ho-scale-dash-9-40cw-norfolk-southern-ns-9131.jpg?v=1614528750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g31538-ho-scale-dash-9-40cw-norfolk-southern-ns-9131","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
