{"product_id":"ath-1432","title":"HO EMD SD38 Locomotive NS #3806 (ATH-1432)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale Norfolk Southern EMD SD38 locomotive, NS 3806, this ready-to-run model captures the rugged look of late-1960s diesel power. The finely detailed injection-molded body, see-through cab windows, and separately applied grab irons convey prototype realism, while the heavy die-cast frame and precise gearing deliver solid traction and smooth operation. Front and rear ditch lights, LED headlights, and McHenry scale‑knuckle couplers enhance realism on layout operations, and RP25 wheels ensure compatibility with most HO track. It is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug, and comes in both sound and non-sound configurations; the non-sound version includes a speaker installed and is ready to accept a 21-pin sound decoder of choice when you’re ready to add audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood, the SD38\/SD38AC design uses a six-axle configuration with a robust 2,000 horsepower from the EMD 645 family, giving your layout a believable pull. Sound-equipped models feature Onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx, with engine, horn, and bell sounds operable in both DC and DCC, plus full DCC function control and NMRA compatibility. The model also includes detailed features such as see-through dynamic brake and radiator fans, painted and printed decoration, and numerous separately applied parts for added realism. For weathering hobbyists, Primed for Grime variants copy the in-service look with faded base colors, providing an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust. The model is fully assembled and ready to run on standard HO layouts with a minimum recommended radius of 18 inches (22 inches for best clearance).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47844020584500,"sku":"ATH-1432","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1432.jpg?v=1779964654","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1432","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
