Many Class 1, regional, and foreign railroads purchased the AC4400CWs. Ownership spanned the North American Continent and with their long lives, have seen numerous paint scheme variations and ownership changes through the years. The AC4400CW went through many changes during its production. Some are easily noticeable; early units being delivered with GE’s Hi-Adhesion Trucks, while later units that had the option for newly developed GE Steerable Truck. Other details are smaller and takes a careful eye to see; the addition of a door stop, how the step wells are reinforced, or the number and positioning of panels and doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAthearn has captured all these details thorough research and precision tooling to reproduce dozens of variations. The newly tooled Genesis AC4400CW takes its reign as the new flagship model for Athearn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 50-unit order was delivered before the turn of the century in the KCS gray paint scheme. Beginning in 2007, these units were renumbered and repainted into the attractive ‘Southern Belle’ paint scheme that they wear today. With the recent merger of KCS and CP, these locomotives are expected to be seen across the entire Continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNathan K5LAR24 horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate body features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTC antennas and GPS domes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate, notched fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral air intake moved rearward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel tank welded to frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvenly spaced rear grab iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Range Dynamic Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric air dryer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGE steerable trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and Rear ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo handrails above inverter cabinet\u003c\/li\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\u003eLED lighting adjusted to lifelike settings.\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\u003cli\u003eIlluminated marker lights (where applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched, see-through walkway steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimated roller bearing caps\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\u003eBrass horns correct to the prototype\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\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\u003cli\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003c\/li\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC: Equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND: Tsunami2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePROTOTYPE MANUFACTURER: GE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxles: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIGHTED: LED Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Age Recommendation: 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs Assembly Required: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42630564970709,"sku":"ATHG31653","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g31653-ho-scale-ac4400cw-kansas-city-southern-kcs-4587-with-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1645831437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g31653-ho-scale-ac4400cw-kansas-city-southern-kcs-4587-with-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
