HO ATH SW1500 Locomotive w/DCC and Sound (Pacific Electric #2447) (ATH-2548)

HO-scale Athearn EMD SW1500 Switcher Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Pacific Electric livery #2447 is designed for realistic yard and industrial switching on HO layouts. Recreating the four-axle SW1500 prototype built by EMD in the late 1960s, this model captures a compact, 1,500-horsepower switcher with dual exhaust stacks, fine-scale handrails, a detailed cab interior, LED lighting, and operating ground lights. The Legendary Liveries edition offers iconic paint schemes that enhance protofreelance rosters and add extra character to any roster.

Equipped with onboard DCC and SoundTraxx Econami sound, the locomotive runs on both DC and DCC and includes a single speaker for clear audio. It features a powerful 5-pole motor with smooth gearing for quiet, reliable operation, RP25 wheel contours for dependable tracking, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers compatible with Kadee. Additional details like MU hoses, frame-mounted handrails, and a Quick Plug 21-pin DCC interface make this a realistic, easy-to-operate switcher that brings authentic yard and industrial scenes to life on a model railroad.
