HO Old Time 2-8-0 Locomotive UP #241 (ATH84977)

HO Old Time 2-8-0 Locomotive in Union Pacific UP #241 is a detailed, ready-to-run HO-scale steam locomotive designed to bring classic freight power to model railroad layouts.

Its features include see-through cab windows, wire-form details, a smoke stack, and a boiler-mounted bell, complemented by bi-directional LED headlights that stay bright in either direction. A robust 5-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive delivers smooth, quiet operation, while all-wheel drive and electrical pickup provide reliable performance. The heavy die-cast frame adds traction, and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers with RP25-wheeled detail ensure realistic handling on HO track. The model comes fully assembled, painted, and decorated, and is DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug. Sound-equipped versions add an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Ecomani sound, full DCC functionality, MU lashups, and adjustable CVs via the included CV chart. With its 2-8-0 wheel arrangement—a classic heavy-freight configuration—the locomotive is designed for HO curves, with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended radius of 22 inches.
