From the General Electric shops in Erie, Pennsylvania, comes this powerful
workhorse of today's railroading.
The Dash-9 is making its mark on North American main lines with dependable
performance and rugged build quality-just like this Lionel locomotive.
Introducing the Lionel Command equipped 8228 Southern Pacific Dash-9, fresh
from the paint shop to your railroad. Unparalleled features, top performance,
and exquisite decoration quality make the Lionel 8228 a must have for all your
contemporary diesel operations.
Best of all, the Dash-9 is Lionel TrainMaster Command Control equipped. That
means it features the Liontech Command reverse unit, a revolutionary
microcomputer that not only gives you control over every locomotive feature
(directional headlights, RailSounds II, and more) but lets you run the Dash-9
independently on the same track, at the same time, with other Command equipped
Lionel locomotives. Or run the Dash-9 on a conventional railroad and enjoy the
standard forward-neutral-reverse operation automaticly. The Lionel Command
equippes Dash-9 diesel locomotive is quite simply the most advanced electric
train you can buy.
Thrill at the realism of the Dash-9 RailSounds II system, featuring actual
Dash-9 digital sounds recorded by Liontech engineers. Fully controllable diesel
roar, clanging mechanical bell, and MultiHorn-different every time-are just the
beginning. Next, add extra sounds and details like squealing brakes to reveal
the true depth of the Railsounds II system. Nothing comes close to Railsounds
II-except the real thing.
The Lionel Dash-9 comes equipped with Electrocouplers-Plus, coil activated
couplers that work anywhere on your railroad with TrainMaster Command Control or
over and UCS operating track section in conventional operations mode. The
special coil-plus-target disk design gives you performance freedom.
Looking for raw power? The Dash-9 delivers with two powerful Pullmor motors
for the tractive effort you need. And magne-Traction keeps the Dash-9 surefooted
on the tightest of O gauge curves. If long freights are common on your Lionel
railroad, the Dash-9 is ready for service.
No other electric train gives you this much realism and control in such a
rugged package.
