HO GP38-2 Locomotive Sound-Ready with Speaker CSX #2742 (ATH72200)

An HO-scale GP38-2 locomotive with sound-ready capability and an on-board speaker, finished in CSX livery as CSX #2742, designed to bring authentic operation and reliable performance to a model railroad.

Inside, a five-pole motor with precision flywheels delivers smooth, quiet pulling power, while a heavy die-cast frame and all-wheel drive provide solid traction and dependable current pickup. The model rides on nickel-plated, machined wheels with RP25 contours for smooth tracking on HO track and is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug. Realistic detailing includes Celcon handrails, separately applied grab irons, and see-through cab windows, along with LED headlights and ditch lights, horns, and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. Fully assembled and ready to run, this GP38-2 is built for versatile service on HO layouts, performing best on radii of 22 inches (18 inches minimum).
