HO RTR SD38 with DCC and Sound CR #6953 (ATH88944)

HO scale SD38 diesel-electric locomotive with DCC and onboard sound in Conrail CR 6953 livery. This six-axle model faithfully recreates the EMD SD38 family, delivering about 2,000 horsepower in a ready-to-run package. Road-number-specific detailing reflects Conrail era styling, including a Leslie 3-chime horn and Sinclair antenna, while Onboard Econami sound by SoundTraxx provides engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate in both DC and DCC modes.

The model features see-through cab windows, separately applied grab irons, and see-through dynamic brake and radiator fans, all mounted on a highly detailed injection-molded body with realistic paint and lettering. It uses all-wheel drive with a 5-pole skew-wound motor and flywheels for smooth, quiet operation, and RP25 wheel contours for reliable performance on HO tracks. It is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug, supports full lighting control, and road-number-specific CR 6953 details include Exposed Timkin bearing trucks; a minimum 22-inch radius is recommended for best operation.
