HO EMD GP60 Locomotive Sound-Ready Primed For Grime BNSF 196 (ATH-1068)

An HO-scale GP60 locomotive finished in BNSF livery with the number 196, this model is sound-ready and grime-primed to bring authentic freight power to an HO layout. Fully assembled and ready to run, it is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug to accommodate a SoundTraxx Econami sound module when installed, and it supports operation on both DC and DCC layouts for versatile use.

The weathered finish mirrors the look of in-service equipment, offering a realistic starting point for weathering with grime and rust. Built for performance, the GP60 features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, a detailed injection-molded body, see-through cab windows, and factory Celcon handrails. It rolls on nickel-plated wheels with RP25 contours, uses McHenry knuckle couplers, and delivers smooth, quiet operation with a 5-pole motor and precision gearing. LED headlights (with ditch lights where applicable) add to the realism, and the model is designed for HO curves as small as 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for dependable layout performance.
