Kato 176-3517 N Scale GE C44-9W BNSF 700 "Swoosh" - DC

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.

FEATURES:

• DCC friendly mechanism
• Directional headlights with illuminated ditchlights and numberboards
  
• Drop in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K1D4
