HO SW1500 Locomotive with DCC & Sound Southern Pacific #2568 (ATH29769)

HO-scale SW1500 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound in Southern Pacific livery (SP #2568) is a compact, capable switcher built for authentic yard and light-branch work on a model railroad. This faithful reproduction captures SP’s distinctive look—large cab-front number board and a full lighting package—while delivering ready-to-run DCC control and onboard sound to bring switching scenes to life on a layout.

Designed for smooth, reliable operation on typical layouts, this model features authentic detailing such as lit ground lights, a detailed cab interior, see-through radiator grille and cab windows, and fine-scale handrails with MU hoses and stands. It rides on all-wheel drive with a precise gear train for quiet, steady performance and uses McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible). DCC-ready variants include a 21-pin NEM plug for quick DCC installation, while DCC and sound models carry SoundTraxx Economi sound with a single cube speaker and LED lighting for long life. Compatible with DC and DCC operation and suitable for 18-inch minimum-radius curves, it reflects SP’s practical switcher used on industrial yards and lighter-track work.
