HO Old Time 2-8-0 Locomotive GN #1140 (ATH84979)

HO Scale Old Time 2-8-0 Locomotive, GN #1140, is a ready-to-run steam locomotive built for HO layouts seeking authentic early freight power. It captures the look of the era with features like see-through cab windows, separately applied wire-form details, a smoke stack, and a boiler-mounted bell, while bi-directional LED lighting keeps the headlight bright in either direction.

On the rails, this model delivers smooth, reliable performance thanks to a heavy die-cast frame, a five-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive train, and all-wheel drive with precision gears for quiet operation. All-wheel electrical pickup helps maintain steady current, and nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on standard HO track. It comes fully assembled and painted, with McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and DCC-ready 21-pin plug. For sound enthusiasts, a sound-equipped version offers an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Ecomani sound, capable of running in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functions and slow-speed control, and the ability to program MU lashups; a CV chart is included for easy adjustments. Minimum curve radius is 18 inches and the recommended radius is 22 inches.
