HO GP38-2 Locomotive Sound-Ready with Speaker UP #542 (ATH72196)

An HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive in Union Pacific livery, this sound-ready model includes a speaker and arrives fully assembled and ready to run, bringing authentic power and presence to a layout.

Built for dependable HO-track operation, it features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive for smooth, quiet performance, and all-wheel drive with reliable electrical pickup. The model is DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug to accept decoders and sound, and it sports LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons where appropriate to the prototype. See-through cab windows, factory-installed Celcon handrails, and individually applied wire-form grab irons add realism, along with separately mounted horns and McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers. Nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours roll on standard HO track, while the highly detailed, painted body captures the Union Pacific look. Designed for HO layouts, it runs on curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches.
