HO GP50 Locomotive Burlington Northern #3117 (ATH-1506)
HO GP50 Locomotive in Burlington Northern livery. This ready-to-run HO-scale model captures the GP50’s bold profile with authentic detailing and BN color, making it a standout addition to any Burlington Northern layout.
Designed for dependable, smooth operation, the model features a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive train for quiet, reliable performance, plus all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for steady power. The heavy die-cast frame provides traction, while see-through cab windows, factory Celcon handrails, and wire-formed grab irons enhance realism. Separately mounted horns, McHenry operating scale couplers, and LED front and rear headlights with ditch lights and beacons (where applicable) add to the prototypical look. It’s DCC Ready with a 21-pin NEM plug and rides on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for smooth running on HO track. The model arrives fully assembled and decorated in the Legendary Liveries edition, ready to run out of the box. A minimum 18-inch radius is recommended (22 inches preferred for best operation), and replacement parts are available if needed.
