HO ATH GP50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, CIND #5000 (ATH-1527)

HO GP50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, road number 5000 in the CIND scheme, is a ready-to-run HO-scale model that captures the look and performance of General Motors' GP50. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and a five-pole motor with precision flywheels, it delivers smooth, quiet pulling power. Realistic detailing includes see-through cab windows, factory Celcon handrails, and separately applied wire-formed grab irons, while nickel-plated RP25-contour wheels and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers ensure authentic handling. LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons where applicable illuminate the model, and a DCC-ready 21-pin NEM plug provides a pathway for decoder installation and compatible sound on layouts. The locomotive ships fully assembled and decorated, ready to run out of the box.

From the Legendary Liveries line, this GP50 showcases curated paint schemes that celebrate iconic railroads and "what-if" variations for proto-freelance rosters. It’s designed for HO layouts with a minimum 18" radius (22" recommended) and features reliable current pickup across all axles for steady operation. Replacement parts are available to keep it in service, and the scale detailing and heavy frame work together to deliver a convincing, compact powerhouse on your rails.
