HO GP38-2 Locomotive Sound-Ready CSX #2754 (ATH72201)

This HO-scale GP38-2 locomotive in CSX livery (#2754) is a sound-ready model designed to bring realistic diesel power to a model railroad. Fully assembled and ready to run, it includes a speaker for authentic locomotive sounds, making it easy to add life to a CSX roster.

Built on a heavy die-cast frame with a 5-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drive train, this GP38-2 delivers smooth, quiet operation and solid pulling power. Realistic detailing includes see-through cab windows, factory-installed Celcon handrails, and individually applied grab irons, along with LED headlights, rear lights, ditch lights, and beacons where applicable to the prototype. DCC-ready via a 21-pin NEM plug, it runs on RP25-contoured machined wheels for reliable current pickup on most HO track, and uses McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for authentic coupling. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22-inch curves recommended for best performance.
