HO Old Time 2-8-0 Locomotive with DCC & Sound GN #1140 (ATH85009)

HO-scale Old Time 2-8-0 steam locomotive with DCC and sound, GN #1140, is a ready-to-run HO model that recreates a classic heavy-freight locomotive. The 2-8-0 wheel arrangement delivers substantial pulling power for long trains at modest speeds, making it ideal for authentic freight operations on an HO layout.

Rich in detail and built for reliable performance, this model features see-through cab windows, wire-form details, a smoke stack, and a boiler-mounted bell. Bi-directional LED headlights stay bright in both directions, while a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive train ensures smooth, quiet operation. All-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup provide steady power, and a heavy die-cast frame adds traction for heavier loads. McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers offer authentic coupling, and the model is fully assembled and decorated with a highly detailed body. It is DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug and rides on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for compatibility with most HO track. For sound-equipped versions, onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Econami sound operates in both DC and DCC, delivers full DCC functionality and slow-speed control, and supports MU lashups with horn, bell, and lights; CV changes are supported and a CV chart is included. Minimum track radius is 18 inches, with a recommended radius of 22 inches.
