SKU: KAT1763519

Kato N 176-3519 DCC Ready GE C44-9W Locomotive Kansas City Southern 'Ex-BNSF Patch' KCS #4400

Model Features:
  • DCC friendly mechanism**
  • Directional headlights with illuminated ditchlights and numberboards
  • Powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels
  • Drop in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K1D4 DCC Decoder

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

Prototype Information:
The headliner of GEs 1993 freight locomotive line was the 6 motor, 4400hp C44-9W Dash 9. This devious diesel was slightly longer than its predecessors at 73 feet, 2 inches. The C44-9W used a new HiAd, bolster-less 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.
