HO GP38-2 Locomotive Sound-Ready with Speaker SOO #4514 (ATH72207)

HO GP38-2 Locomotive with Sound and Speaker in Soo Line livery, No. 4514, is an HO-scale diesel model designed to bring authentic motive power to a home layout. This sound-ready locomotive captures the GP38-2’s versatile role—from switching yards to hauling freight across North America during the 1970s through the 1980s—and includes an onboard speaker to deliver realistic diesel sounds as you run the train.

Designed for reliable, easy operation, it is DCC-ready via a 21-pin NEM plug and features LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons, plus see-through cab windows for a lifelike look. The model rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a five-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drive for smooth, quiet performance, with all-wheel electrical pickup for steady power. It arrives fully assembled and decorated, with factory Celcon handrails, separately applied grab irons and horns, McHenry scale-knuckle couplers, and RP25-contoured wheels that run well on most track. It is ready to run on 18" minimum-radius curves (22" recommended), making it a ready-to-use addition to any HO layout.
