HO GP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, Burlington Northern #1629 (ATHG-1253)

HO-scale Burlington Northern GP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a detailed diesel model designed to bring authentic GP7 operation to an HO layout. It features see-through cab windows and a full cab interior, LED lighting, and a heavy die-cast frame for added traction. The model includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, delivering engine, horn, and bell effects that work in both DC and DCC setups.

Prototypically accurate detailing includes Blomberg‑B trucks with bearing caps, etched radiator grilles and fan grilles, wire grab irons, and fine-scale Celcon handrails. It uses body-mounted knuckle couplers compatible with the Kadee system, RP25-contour wheels for reliable operation on popular HO track, and an 18-inch minimum radius. A Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain provides smooth, quiet performance, while the DCC features allow full CV-based control and easier lashups across multiple locomotives on realistic layouts.
