HO Ready to Run SD38 with DCC and Sound CCGX #5201 (ATH88941)

An HO-scale ready-to-run SD38 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, designed to bring authentic mid-1960s EMD power to HO layouts. This fully assembled model features onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx and bi-directional lighting that stays bright in either direction, whether operated on DC or DCC.

Designed for HO layouts, it showcases a finely detailed injection-molded body with painted and printed decoration, see-through cab windows, and era-accurate detailing. The drive system blends all-wheel drive with a 5-pole motor and flywheels for smooth, quiet operation, while RP25 wheels ensure compatibility with most HO track. It’s DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug and NMRA-compatible functions in DCC mode, includes McHenry scale knuckle couplers, and a 22-inch minimum radius is recommended for optimal performance.
