This six-axle diesel-electric captures the prototype with features like see-through cab windows, front and rear ditch lights, a horn mounted on a bracket, and front and rear snowplows, all built on a heavy die-cast frame for solid traction. The model is available in sound-ready form with onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx and full DCC functionality, or as a DCC-ready version with a 21-pin NEM plug for adding a decoder. LED headlights and beacons, finely applied handrails, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers enhance realism, while RP25-contour wheels ensure compatibility with popular HO track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully assembled and painted, this SD38 is designed for HO layouts with a minimum recommended radius of 18 inches and a 22-inch radius for best performance on curves. It combines a detailed injection-molded body with a robust drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation and reliable current pickup, making it a strong centerpiece for both new builds and seasoned modelers. The model also serves as a practical weathering platform, with a base color designed to be accented with grime or rust to recreate an in-service appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47844052762676,"sku":"ATH-1428","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1428.jpg?v=1779965482","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1428","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
