HO EMD GP60 Locomotive Sound-Ready SSW #9672 (ATH-1188)

HO EMD GP60 Locomotive with Sound-Ready system is an HO-scale model designed to bring a GP60 into a layout with authentic sound and performance. It features onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx and is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug, enabling full functionality in DCC mode as well as reliable operation on DC systems. The model includes LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons where applicable, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, all-wheel drive, a 5-pole motor with precision gears for quiet, smooth motion, and separately-applied detail parts with see-through cab windows. It rides on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours and McHenry scale-knuckle couplers. Fully assembled and painted for realism, it can run on HO track with a minimum 18-inch radius and is best on 22-inch curves or larger.

Designed for realism and versatility, the GP60 offers authentic performance on HO layouts. In addition to onboard Econami Sound providing engine, horn, and bell effects, the unit supports full DCC functionality and NMRA-compliant control in DCC mode. The heavy frame, precise gearing, and reliable electrical pickup contribute to steady traction and smooth slow-speed operation, while features such as see-through cab windows and detailed exterior parts enhance the model’s presence. Weathering-ready variants under the Primed for Grime line provide a faded, in-service look that’s a ready starting point for adding grime and rust, and Legendary Liveries present popular railroad paint schemes for prototypical or proto-freelance rosters—offering style as well as performance for enthusiasts seeking distinctive locomotives on their layouts.
