HO GP7R Locomotive CNW #4193 (ATHG-1237)

HO GP7R Locomotive in CNW livery is a detailed HO-scale replica of the GP7R rebuilt locomotives used by the Chicago and North Western. It’s designed for model railroaders seeking an authentic, ready-to-run locomotive to populate CNW-era freight and switcher duties. See-through cab windows with a full interior, LED lighting for realistic daylight and night operation, etched radiator and fan grilles, and a heavy die-cast frame for extra traction all contribute to a convincing, museum-quality presence on the layout. Fine-scale Celcon handrails, detailed fuel tanks with fillers and gauges, and Blomberg-B trucks with bearing caps round out the prototype-inspired detailing, while a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor delivers smooth, quiet operation.

Operationally, the GP7R is built for flexible DCC use and easy setup. Body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) and RP25-contoured wheels ensure reliable coupling and smooth running on popular HO track. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play with a 21-pin NEM connector simplifies digital installation, while all-wheel electrical pickup maintains steady power. Sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual cube speakers, and engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes, plus CV programming with an included CV chart for fine-tuning. The model is designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches, making it a versatile centerpiece for CNW-era operations.
