HO RTR SW1500 Locomotive with DCC and Sound (BN #310) (ATH28765)

HO Scale SW1500 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a ready-to-run diesel switcher designed to bring Burlington Northern yard power to HO layouts. The model features a highly detailed injection-molded body, a full cab interior, see-through radiator grilles, and authentic touches such as a 1,100-gallon fuel tank, a firecracker antenna, and operating ground lights. Painted and printed for realism, it also carries finely molded handrails, separately applied wire grab irons, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers that are Kadee compatible. Fully assembled and ready to run, it's built to perform reliably on standard HO track.

Under the hood, a robust five-pole skew-wound motor with flywheels powers smooth, quiet operation, with all-wheel drive and reliable electrical pickup for steady power. DCC-ready variants use a Quick Plug 21-pin interface, while DCC and sound versions include a Tsunami2 decoder with dual cube speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds on both DC and DCC layouts. LED lighting provides long-life illumination, and the model is designed for standard HO track with an 18-inch minimum radius, making it a practical addition to most yards and branchlines.
