HO SW1500 Locomotive with DCC and Sound Union Pacific #1023 (ATH29767)

Union Pacific HO-scale SW1500 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a four-axle diesel switcher designed for industrial switching and light yard work on model railroads. Finished in Union Pacific livery and numbered 1023, the unit reproduces prototype details like dual exhaust stacks, a large fuel tank, MU hoses, frame-mounted handrails, and a Nathan P-3 horn, with options for DCC operation and onboard sound. The model also includes a detailed cab interior, operating ground lights, and see-through grille and cab windows to capture the UP workhorse’s rugged character.

On the track, it delivers dependable performance thanks to all-wheel drive with precision gears and all-wheel electrical pickup, while a 21-pin NEM plug supports easy DCC upgrades. The DCC-and-sound version uses SoundTraxx Economi with a single cube speaker for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, and LED lighting for reliability. Features like RP25 wheel contours, McHenry scale knuckle couplers, separately applied grab irons, and a finely detailed injection-molded body enhance realism, and an 18-inch minimum radius keeps it compatible with most HO layouts for smooth switching action.
