Review ATHEARN Ho Scale Dash Nw Opersation

The Athearn HO Scale Dash 9-44CW NW 8717 is a meticulously crafted model train that will captivate any rail enthusiast. This diesel-electric locomotive is an exact replica of the iconic Northern Pacific Railway (NW) Class Dash 9-44CW, specifically the 8717 unit.

The Athearn HO Scale Dash 9-44CW NW 8717 features a powerful and realistic 5-pole skewed armature motor with flywheels and a multi-link drive that ensures smooth and quiet operation. The model boasts die-cast metal trucks with Tortison spring suspension and Kadee-compatible couplers, ensuring reliable performance on your HO scale track layout.

The exterior of the Athearn HO Scale Dash 9-44CW NW 8717 is a masterclass in detail. The body is constructed from injection molded plastic and features photorealistic paint schemes and graphics that accurately represent the NW 8717. The model also includes separately applied handrails, ladder rungs, and windshield wipers, adding to its lifelike appearance.

One of the standout features of this model is its Operation Lifesaver (OLS) safety decals and lights. OLS is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing highway-rail grade crossing fatalities and incidents in the United States and Canada. The safety decals and lights on this model serve as a reminder of the importance of rail safety and can be activated with the flick of a switch.

The Athearn HO Scale Dash 9-44CW NW 8717 also includes numerous other details that rail fans will appreciate. These include realistic head and tail lights, operating coupler release levers, and accurate marker lights. The model also features fully detailed cab interior with control stand, crew, and appropriate decals.

In conclusion, the Athearn HO Scale Dash 9-44CW NW 8717 is a must-have for any HO scale train collector or enthusiast. Its powerful motor, die-cast metal trucks, and meticulous attention to detail make it a standout model that will bring hours of enjoyment to model railroaders. Plus, the Operation Lifesaver safety decals and lights add a unique touch that makes this model even more special.

2. Limited power: While the model has functional features, its power may not be sufficient for longer runs or heavier loads.

3. Requires assembly: The model may require some assembly, such as attaching the couplers and installing the sounds, which can be time-consuming for some hobbyists.

I would recommend the Athearn HO Scale Dash 9-44CW NW 8717 Operation Lifesaver to hobbyists who are looking for a high-quality, detailed model with functional features and are willing to invest in a more expensive option. Additionally, Operation Lifesaver enthusiasts will appreciate the decals promoting rail safety.

Details:

This is a really nice ready-to-roll Athearn model of the dash 9-44CW engine. Since I don't use CDC it has never been out of box to check on that system. It is c nw engine 8717, and CDC ready according to the box top. Model was examined for any signs of visible damage then placed in storage future use.
