{"product_id":"ath-2543","title":"HO ATH SW1500 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, ALS #1508 (ATH-2543)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale SW1500 switcher locomotive with DCC and sound, this compact four-axle diesel is built for yard work and light freight on HO layouts. It faithfully reproduces the SW1500’s bulky hood and two exhaust stacks, with fine-scale handrails and a detailed cab interior for a prototypical presence. The onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami delivers authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, bringing yard operations to life on the layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eLED lighting and operating ground lights add daytime and night-time realism, while see-through radiator grilles, cab windows, and separately applied grab irons boost visual detail. A newly designed, more powerful and quieter can motor drives the model with all-wheel traction and reliable current pickup for smooth, quiet running. McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), RP25 wheel contours, and 21-pin NMRA Quick Plug connectivity support easy linking and future decoder upgrades. The model handles DC operation with some functions limited and includes a CV chart for MU lashups and tuning. Legendary Liveries offer iconic paint schemes that celebrate historic or canceled designs, adding roster variety, while the minimum 18-inch radius ensures smooth performance on standard layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47557147033652,"sku":"ATH-2543","price":294.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-2543.jpg?v=1772829031","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-2543","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
