HO F59PHI Locomotive with DCC and Sound CDTX #2001 (ATH64950)

This HO-scale F59PHI locomotive, finished in CDTX 2001 livery, reproduces the lightweight, high‑speed commuter locomotive built by EMD for California services. It’s designed to bring authentic scale appearance and operation to HO layouts, with DCC and onboard sound for a lifelike, on‑track experience.

The model features a DCC‑ready Quick Plug 21‑pin NEM connector for easy decoder upgrades and compatibility with both DC and DCC operation. Sound‑equipped versions use onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx to deliver engine, horn, and bell sounds, while LED lighting, see‑through cab glazing, and careful detailing add realism. A heavy die‑cast frame, all‑wheel drive, and a 5‑pole motor with flywheels offer smooth, quiet operation and solid pulling power. RP25 wheel contours ensure good tracking on most HO tracks, and the model arrives fully decorated and ready to run, with a minimum 18-inch radius required for curves.
