N F45 Locomotive ATSF #5918 (ATH19078)

Introducing the N-scale Santa Fe F45 Locomotive, ATSF #5918. This ready-to-run model faithfully reproduces the F45’s distinctive cowl-bodied silhouette for freight service on an N-scale layout. It captures the prototype with features like see-through cab windows, a 4,000-gallon fuel tank, and authentic Santa Fe livery, delivering a compact, highly realistic locomotive that runs smoothly on typical layouts. Some sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound, operable in both DC and DCC modes.

On the workbench and on the railroad, the model balances detail and performance: a heavy die-cast frame for traction, a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels, and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation. Fine-scale touches such as body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, Celcon handrails, and accurate paint add realism, while bidirectional LED lighting maintains constant brightness in either direction. Features like an ATSF body with wide anticlimbers, a 4,000-gallon fuel tank, and a choice of snow plow or welded pilot, along with a minimum radius of 9¾ inches, make it well-suited for a wide range of N-scale layouts.
