HO GP7 Locomotive BN #1629 (ATHG-1238)

HO GP7 Locomotive in Burlington Northern livery, No. 1629 — a meticulously detailed HO-scale diesel designed to bring a classic GP7 to life on your layout. This model features see-through cab windows and a full interior, LED lighting for realistic operation, and a sturdy heavy die-cast frame that provides authentic weight and pulling power. Built to prototype standards with scale details like etched radiator grilles, wire grab irons, fine-scale Celcon handrails, and carefully reproduced fuel tanks and exhaust details, capturing the look of the original locomotive.

On the rails, the GP7 offers authentic performance: Blomberg-B trucks with bearing caps, a five-pole Genesis driveline, precision flywheels, and all-wheel drive with smooth gears for quiet operation. Body-mounted scale knuckle couplers are Kadee-compatible, and the model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors for simple digital control. The sound-equipped version adds a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers, full DCC functionality, and a full set of engine, horn, and bell sounds; many functions can be configured via CV changes, and a CV chart is included. The locomotive is designed with RP25 wheel contours for compatibility with most brands of track, LED lighting for realism, and a minimum radius of 18 inches to fit most layouts.
