Bachmann #68511 GE DASH 8-40CW Santa Fe w/ DCC Sound Value on Board

Entering service in 1989, the Dash 8-40CW was the first in General Electric’s line of road diesels to feature the North American Safety Cab (otherwise known as the wide-cab design). It would set the standard for the basic appearance of all GE locomotives for the next two decades, becoming an icon of North American freight railroading. Bachmann’s Dash 8-40CW features newly added operating ditch lights, a TCS Sound Value DCC package for sound, speed, direction, and lighting control, and comes ready-to-run on both analog and DCC-equipped layouts. Additional features include: • DCC Sound Value-equipped for sound, speed, direction, and lighting control • Keep-Alive® device that keeps your engine running during power interruptions due to dirty track or loss of electrical contact • dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder • operating headlight and ditch lights • all-wheel drive • blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours • E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers
