HO SW1500 Locomotive w/DCC & Sound, ITC #1515 (ATH-2537)

HO-scale SW1500 Switcher Locomotive with DCC & Sound (ITC 1515) is a compact four‑axle diesel designed for yard and industrial switching, bringing the SW1500 prototype to life with modern electronics. It features dual exhaust stacks, a bulky carbody, and a robust drive that captures the power and presence of real switcher power. The model includes an on-board DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound, a single speaker for clear audio, and a 21‑pin Quick Plug interface for easy DCC hookup, while also operating in DC mode. It offers LED lighting, operating ground lights, a detailed cab interior, see‑through radiator grille, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers compatible with Kadee equipment.

On the layout, this SW1500 is built for reliable, yard‑speed operation with RP25 wheel contours, all‑wheel electrical pickup, and a refined five‑pole skew‑wound motor with flywheels for smooth, quiet performance. The injection‑molded body and finely detailed features deliver a lifelike appearance, while Legendary Liveries provide a range of paint schemes to diversify a roster. The model supports MU lashups, CV-based customization, and, with an 18‑inch minimum radius, fits a wide variety of HO layouts for industrial scenes or prototypical freight operations.
