MTH 20-20118-1 CNW Dash-9 Diesel Engine w/PS2 #8717 (Hi-Rail Wheels) LN/Box

This is MTH 20-20118-1 O Hi-Rail Dash-9 w/PS2, C&NW. Dash-9 diesel engine with Proto-Sound 3.0 (hi-rail wheels) - Chicago North Western . Throughout history, engineers have tried to generate more horsepower with smaller, more compact engines. General Electric's Dash-9 is no exception. Using a turbo-charged 16 cylinder prime mover, the Dash-9, also known as the C44-9W, can reach 4,400 horsepower. The Dash-9 provided many mechanical and electrical improvements over the Dash-8 line, and it is, in fact, both the culmination of the GE Dash engines and the forebear of a new class of locomotives. Later locomotives in this family are called AC-class engines. Model railroaders looking to recreate the evolution of late twentieth-century motive power can do no better than an M.T.H. Premier Line Dash-8 with Proto-Sound 3.0.
