HO SW1500 Locomotive with DCC & Sound Southern Railway #76A (ATH29774)

An HO-scale Southern Railway SW1500 locomotive with DCC and sound is a faithful model of General Motors’ 1,500-horsepower four-axle switcher, built for yard and light-branch work on modern layouts. It can be ordered in DCC-ready form with a 21-pin plug for easy installation or as a sound-equipped version with Economi sound and a compact speaker for authentic engine, horn and bell effects. The Southern prototype details are faithfully rendered, including frame-mounted handrails and a firecracker antenna, plus the long fuel tank that gives this small diesel its distinctive silhouette.

For realistic operation, the model features all-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth, quiet running and all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable power. It rides on RP25 wheels for broad track compatibility and includes finely detailed exterior and interior touches—separately applied grab irons, see-through radiator grille and cab windows, and illuminated ground lights and cab interior. The model supports both DC and DCC operation, with DCC-ready and sound-equipped variants offering easy CV customization, and it has an 18-inch minimum radius to fit most HO layouts.
