HO ATH GP50 Locomotive ATSF #3847 (ATH-1503)
HO Scale GP50 Locomotive in Santa Fe livery (ATSF #3847) is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model designed to bring a classic EMD diesel onto an HO layout with authentic presence. It features a heavy die-cast frame for strong pulling power and a smooth 5-pole motor with flywheels and a multi-link drive for quiet, dependable operation. See-through cab windows, Celcon handrails, and individually applied grab irons deliver realistic detailing, while LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons (where applicable) illuminate the rails. The model is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug for easy digital control, and it rides on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for reliable tracking on standard HO track. As a ready-to-run locomotive, it arrives fully decorated and includes horn details and McHenry knuckle couplers to match the prototype’s appearance.
Part of the Legendary Liveries line, this Santa Fe edition showcases one of the most iconic railroad paint schemes and offers a collectible, alternate-history option for rail enthusiasts. Built for HO layouts, the GP50 delivers solid performance thanks to its weight, all-wheel drive, and precise drivetrain, with minimum radius compatibility down to 18 inches and optimal operation on 22-inch or larger curves. It’s ready to slot into a roster and pull a variety of rolling stock, adding era-appropriate power and visual impact to any layout.
