N F45 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, MRL #393 (ATH19189)

The N F45 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, MRL #393, is a detailed, ready-to-run model of the EMD F45 cowl locomotive used by Montana Rail Link. It includes a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, delivering authentic engine, horn and bell effects for operation on both DC and DCC layouts.

Built with a BN-style body and narrow anticlimbers, the model rides on a heavy die-cast frame and features a 5-pole motor for smooth, quiet pulling. Realistic details include see-through cab windows, Celcon handrails, 4,000-gallon fuel tank, snow plow or welded pilot, flush-mounted port-hole glass, and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers. Bidirectional, constant LED lighting keeps headlights bright in both directions. The onboard DCC decoder provides full NMRA-compatible functions with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, while DC operation is supported; a CV chart is included to tailor performance and lashups. Minimum radius: 9 3/4 inches.
