Rivet Counter HO Scale GE DASH 9-40C, Norfolk Southern/Horsehead

The GE DASH 9 Series debuted in 1993 with numerous electronic upgrades, building on the DASH 8 platform. Available with 4,000 or 4,400hp, they were well-received by the railroads and their employees, quickly becoming one of the most common locomotive types in North America. The DASH 9s remained in production until the early 2000s when it was superseded by GE’s “Evolution Series” ES40/44-series models. Most are still in service today.

With railroad, road number, and era specific™ details, our Rivet Counter™ series DASH 9 is the definitive model of this popular GE locomotive. In our continuing effort to push the boundaries of realism in model railroading, the Rivet Counter DASH 9 features operating LED front, rear, and side walkway lights. Available as DC/DCC with a 21-pin connector or with ESU LokSound™ 5 DCC & sound pre-installed at the factory.
