The Athearn Genesis ATHG31781 HO scale model of the BNSF #5700 GE AC4400CW comes with DCC and Sound features. BNSF features include an as - delivered look, a small plow, high - mount number boards, and more. These locomotives, delivered in 2004, were often used on coal trains due to their A.C. traction motors' ability to move heavy loads at low speeds. The AC4400CW series locomotive offers DCC - ready Quick Plug™ technology, accurate paint schemes, and LED lighting. Sound - equipped models have an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers. The prototype, introduced by GE in 1993 and built until 2004, is a key part of modern railroading with many variations. Athearn has captured all details through research and precision tooling. Specifications include 6 axles, DCC - equipped, LED lighting, and more.

Using this Athearn Genesis model is easy. First, connect it to your DCC system if you want to use all the features. For basic operation in DC mode, the engine, horn, and bell sounds will work. When using DCC, you can access full functions. Be careful when handling the model as it has many delicate parts like the fine - scale handrails and wire grab irons. To maintain it, keep it clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the body, wheels, and details. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store it in the provided packaging to keep it safe and protected. If you want to customize the functions, refer to the CV chart included in the box. And remember, this model works well on all popular brands of track with its RP25 contour wheels.
