HO Old Time 2-8-0 Locomotive with DCC & Sound V&T #29 (ATH85015)

HO Scale Old Time 2-8-0 Steam Locomotive with DCC & Sound, V&T #29, a ready-to-run model for HO layouts that recreates a classic heavy‑freight engine with authentic detail and onboard sound.

Fully assembled and decorated, it features see-through cab windows, wire-form detailing, a smoke stack, and a boiler-mounted bell, plus bi-directional LED lighting for consistent headlights. The drivetrain uses a 5‑pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi‑link drive train for smooth, quiet operation, aided by all‑wheel drive and electrical pickup for reliable power. A heavy die‑cast frame provides traction, and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers with RP25‑contoured wheels ensure smooth coupling on standard HO track. DCC‑ready with a 21‑pin plug, sound‑equipped versions include a SoundTraxx Ecomani decoder—the sound units run on both DC and DCC with full DCC functionality; CV changes and a CV chart are included to tailor speed, lighting, and sounds, and the model supports MU lashups. The 2‑8‑0 configuration represents a proven heavy‑freight design built for starting and moving substantial loads at modest speeds, a heritage faithfully captured in this model.
