***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. 

The Rivet Counter series DASH-9 continues to set new standards for railroad, road number and era-specific features, factory-applied detail parts, lighting effects, and sound in N Scale. All Rivet Counter series N Scale locomotives are available DC/DCC ready with Next18 connector or factory equipped with ESU-LokSound 5 Micro DCC and sound decoder with cube-type speaker.

PROTOTYPE HISTORY

The GE DASH 9 Series, built from 1991 to 2004, replaced the earlier DASH 8 series and featured numerous electronic improvements that enhanced overall performance and reliability. With these enhancements, the DASH 9 series was well-liked by the railroads and as a result, quickly became one of the most common locomotive types in the United States.

Thanks to its long production span and customer options, small detail differences could be noted between various customer orders. This includes changes with HVAC system vendors, the large A/C box behind the cab on the conductor’s side, engine cab profile, radiator lifting lugs, hood end, trucks, fuel tank, stepwells, operator’s cab, and even handrail profiles.

The C44-9W proved to be extremely popular over its production span with over 3,500 locomotives being sold new to BC Rail, BNSF, Canadian National, C&NW, Norfolk Southern, QNS&L, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific.

Built over a long timeframe, and proving to be a solid, upgradeable platform, the C44-9W family of locomotives, including rebuilds, is sure to remain a fixture on today’s railroads for the foreseeable future.
