HO GP50 Locomotive ATSF #3853 (ATH-1505)

HO-scale GP50 Locomotive in Santa Fe livery (ATSF 3853) — a fully assembled, ready-to-run model designed for HO layouts. This faithful replica captures the look and performance of the EMD GP50 and is ideal for Santa Fe operations, prototyping, or proto-freelance scenarios on a modern-era roster.

Key features include factory Celcon handrails and individually applied wire-grab irons, a five-pole motor with precision-machined flywheels and a multi-link drive for smooth, quiet operation, see-through cab windows, and a DCC Ready 21-pin NEM plug. LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons illuminate where applicable, while a heavy die-cast frame and all-wheel drive with reliable electrical pickup deliver solid performance. The locomotive rides on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours, uses McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers, and includes separately-applied horns. It arrives fully painted and decorated on a highly-detailed injection-molded body, and features Legendary Liveries—exclusive paint schemes that celebrate iconic railroading. Designed for HO layouts, it requires an 18" minimum radius (22" is recommended) for best operation.
