Dash-9 diesel engine with Proto-Sound 3.0 (hi-rail wheels) - Chicago North Western . Throughout history, engineers have tried to generate more horsepower with smaller, more compact engines. General Electric's Dash-9 is no exception. Using a turbo-charged 16 cylinder prime mover, the Dash-9, also known as the C44-9W, can reach 4,400 horsepower. The Dash-9 provided many mechanical and electrical improvements over the Dash-8 line, and it is, in fact, both the culmination of the GE Dash engines and the forebear of a new class of locomotives. Later locomotives in this family are called AC-class engines. Model railroaders looking to recreate the evolution of late twentieth-century motive power can do no better than an M.T.H. Premier Line Dash-8 with Proto-Sound 3.0. Outfitted with incredible sounds and operating features not found elsewhere, each handsome locomotive is produced in three different cab numbers and can be mated with an optional non-powered unit in a different cab number for a realistic 2, 3 or 4-unit lashup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast truck sides, pilots and fuel tank\u003cbr\u003eIntricately detailed ABS body\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic paint scheme\u003cbr\u003eMetal body side grilles\u003cbr\u003eMoveable roof fan blades\u003cbr\u003eMetal chassis\u003cbr\u003eMetal handrails and decorative horn\u003cbr\u003eDirectionally controlled headlights\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels, axles and gears\u003cbr\u003e(2) remotely controlled Proto-Couplers®\u003cbr\u003e(2) precision flywheel equipped motors\u003cbr\u003eLighted cab interior\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003cbr\u003eOperating smoke unit\u003cbr\u003e(2) engineer cab figures\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003eProto-Scale 3-2 3-rail\/2-rail conversion capable\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: freight yard Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 18 3\/4 x 2 3\/4 x 3 7\/8\u003cbr\u003eOperates on O-42 curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiesel DCC features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight\u003cbr\u003eBell\u003cbr\u003eWhistle\/horn\u003cbr\u003eStart up\/Shut down\u003cbr\u003eRear coupler\u003cbr\u003eFront coupler\u003cbr\u003eEngine sounds on\/off\u003cbr\u003eSound volume\u003cbr\u003eDitch lights auto\/on\/off\u003cbr\u003eForward signal\u003cbr\u003eReverse signal\u003cbr\u003eGrade crossing signal\u003cbr\u003eCab light on\/off\u003cbr\u003eExtended start up\u003cbr\u003eExtended shut down\u003cbr\u003eRev up\u003cbr\u003eRev down\u003cbr\u003eCoupler slack sound\u003cbr\u003eCoupler close\u003cbr\u003eOne-shot doppler\u003cbr\u003eFeature reset\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 1\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 2\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 3\u003cbr\u003eBrakes auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eCab chatter auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eClickety-clack auto\/off\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-8: Like New.
