HO GP50 Locomotive CIND #5008 (ATH-1511)

HO GP50 Locomotive in CIND #5008 is a ready-to-run HO-scale model that faithfully recreates the General Motors Electro-Motive Division GP50 road switcher from the 1980s. It’s offered in the Legendary Liveries lineup, delivering a distinctive, collectible paint scheme perfect for layout customization or proto-freelancing on an HO scale railroad.

Designed for HO railroading, this model combines solid engineering with rich detail. It features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, all-wheel drive with precise gears for smooth, quiet operation, and a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive train. Factory-installed Celcon handrails and individually applied wire-formed grab irons enhance realism, while see-through cab windows, a DCC-ready 21-pin NEM plug, and LED illumination for front and rear headlights, ditch lights, and beacons add operational realism. The nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours run on most brands of track, and McHenry knuckle couplers provide prototypical coupling. It ships fully assembled and decorated, ready to run out of the box, with replacement parts available for ongoing upkeep. For layout planning, the minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for optimal handling.
