N F45u Locomotive with DCC and Sound ATSF #5956 (ATH19179)

Santa Fe F45u Locomotive with DCC and Sound, ATSF #5956, is an N-scale ready-to-run model that captures the look and performance of the F45u cowl freight locomotive. It includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, so engine, horn, and bell audio play in both DC and DCC operation, with full DCC functionality when used in DCC mode. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive, it delivers steady, quiet pulling power and reliable current collection, while constant LED headlights keep illumination steady as you roll.

Detailing mirrors the prototype with a Santa Fe body featuring wide anticlimbers, see-through cab windows, and a 4,000-gallon fuel tank. Fine-scale Celcon handrails and flush-mounted window glass add realism, while the five-pole motor, precision flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain provide smooth, confident performance at slow speeds. The model supports MU lashups and can be configured to run with a lead unit's horn, bell, and lights, and it arrives fully assembled and ready to run for immediate operation on the layout.
