==Overview==
Bachmann’s new DCC sound-equipped [locomotive] uses original design documentation and authentic sound files recorded from the prototype. This model includes a TCS WOWSound® decoder with factory-preset configuration The WOWSound® diesel-electric locomotive sound package includes sounds for horn, bell, prime mover, air compressor, dynamic brakes, cooling fan, coupler close/release, brake release and application, and many more!

Loaded with prototypical features, the GE Dash 8-40CW in HO-scale from Bachmann Trains brings all the sights and sounds of GE's iconic rumble diesel-electric locomotive to your layout.

==Specific Features==
Features include:

*DCC sound-equipped for sound, speed, direction, and lighting control
*Dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder operates sound, motor, and lights on DCC or DC power.
*TCS high-quality 16-bit audio

==Additional Features==
The {{PAGENAME}} is at its heart a WOWDiesel decoder but has had some customization to make it specific to the locomotive. The information below details where CV’s and operation differ from the standard Diesel decoder.

'''DC mode operation'''

When operating in DC mode, the locomotive will sit still and silent until a sufficient track voltage is present. Once the minimum voltage (approximately 8 volts) is met, the locomotive will ignite the prime mover and the lights will come on. An additional increase in voltage will cause the locomotive to begin to move. A directional horn blast will sound, and the bell will activate automatically. Increasing the voltage further will shut off the automatic bell. Users may trigger a grade crossing horn quill sound by quickly adjusting the track voltage up and back down quickly. The directional horn blasts, quill, and automatic DC mode bell are enabled by default. If you would like to change these settings, as well as other behavior of your locomotive on DC power, please read more in our section on [[Diesel Version 5:DC Mode Operation|DC Mode Operation and Configuration for WOWSound Version 5]].
