Review ATHEARN Southern City Kansas Weathered Kcs Ready Tfm Dcc

The Southern AC4400CW Kansas is an exquisite model train from Athearn's Genesis series, specifically weathered to represent Kansas City Southern (KCS) TFM (Through Freight Management) units. This HO scale locomotive is a faithful replica of the modern AC4400CW diesel-electric locomotive, which is widely used for freight service across North America.

The Southern AC4400CW Kansas features a detailed and accurate paint scheme, showcasing the distinctive KCS colors of red, white, and black. The weathering effects add a realistic touch, making the locomotive appear as if it has been out on the rails for many miles, with worn paint, dirt, and grime adding to its authenticity.

The locomotive boasts a powerful 5-pole motor, which allows it to smoothly pull a long train at varying speeds. The Athearn Genesis drive system ensures smooth and consistent operation, while the flywheels provide realistic start-up and coasting characteristics.

The Southern AC4400CW Kansas features fully-detailed and separately applied body parts, including handrails, couplers, and other accessories. The cab windows are clear and detailed, allowing you to see the crew inside. The wheels are metal, providing excellent traction and smooth operation on your track.

The model also includes a realistic lighting package, including working headlights, marker lights, and ditch lights. The LED lighting provides a bright and clear illumination, making the locomotive even more realistic and eye-catching as it moves along your layout.

In summary, the Southern AC4400CW Kansas is a detailed and accurate model train that will add realism and excitement to your HO scale layout. With its powerful motor, realistic weathering effects, and high-quality construction, this locomotive is a must-have for any serious model train enthusiast.
