A limited number of Canadian National Rivet Counter HO Scale DASH 9 Diesel Locomotives are in stock now. Order yours here: scaletrains.com/ho-scale/ho-scale-locomotives/rivet-counter-ho-scale-ge-dash-9-44cw.html?availability=37
HISTORY
CN’s 2697 to 2726 series DASH 9s were built in 2004 and were sublettered for the Illinois Central. The rest were delivered to CN proper. This made these units the last locomotives delivered to the Illinois Central new, albeit in CN paint. They were also some of the last DASH 9's built before the General Electric Evolution Series rolled out. A unique spotting feature is the “teardrop” style cab windows which helped increase visibility for train crews.
THE MODELS
In this run, we are offering “early” (as delivered) or “late” versions for modelers who want variety. Both CN versions include Canadian style walkways with see-through grating and ribbed anticlimbers, both on the front and rear. Both versions also feature front and rear LED ditch lights. A unique CN feature that is only available on the late versions is Operating LED integral red marker lights which are used when locomotives are assigned to DPU service.
INVENTORY WON’T LAST LONG
Inventory is limited and won’t last long, so if you’ve been wanting to add these unique DASH 9s to your HO Scale model railroad, now is the time to order. We have just one road number remaining for the late version with DCC & Sound.
