The AC4400CW is operated by railroads from East to West and Canada to Mexico.

Models have directional headlights and lighted walkway-mounted ditch lights, as well as lighted Number Boards. The models feature Kato Magnetic Knuckle Couplers, our five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels for smooth operation, and a DCC-Friendly mechanism for easy drop-in of a DCC decoder. Review: Very nice detailed locomotive. - Really love this engine. I bought it because my other CSX was making a noise. A dab of oil was all she needed. They are almost the same speed, so I run them as tandom engines. Works well. The appearance is great. It's a Kato. Need I say more. The detail is exceptional. Be aware you will have to put the tiny numbers on and 4 of the railings. TAKE YOUR TIME! It's worth it! Review: Better than expected - It’s heavy. It needs to be. The extra weight helps to conpensate for the motor, which is very strong. Takes some practice. It tends to derail at higher speeds. Works best with long, heavy setups. ## Features - DCC friendly mechanism - Directional headlights with illuminated ditchlights and numberboards - Powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels - Appropriate Numberboard placement for the prototypical model - Drop in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K1D4. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D2LLG8L4 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Battery Description | No batteries required | | Brand Name | Kato | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts | | Collection Name | All | | Color | Blue | | Controller Type | DCC control | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 28 Reviews | | Included Components | Product Manual | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 3.5 x 1 inches | | Item Type Name | Train | | Manufacturer | Kato | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1188.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 176-7043 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | AC4400CW | | Model Number | 176-7043 | | Model Year | 2024 | | Occasion | Birthday, Courtship, Year | | Other Special Features of the Product | DCC friendly mechanism, Powerful five pole motor, Drop-in DCC compatibility | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Style | Classic | | Scale | N Scale | | Size | N Scale | | Skill Level | Advanced | | Subject Character | American | | Theme | Cartoon | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kato - **Color:** Blue - **Material:** Plastic - **Style:** Classic - **Theme:** Cartoon ## Images ![(N) AC4400CW CSX #77 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KB7+Gn+0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice detailed locomotive. *by P***R on April 7, 2026* Really love this engine.
