HO GP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, EL #1214 (ATHG-1258)

The HO GP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a highly detailed HO-scale model that faithfully recreates EMD’s GP7 diesel locomotive for serious hobbyists. It’s designed to run on standard HO track and deliver authentic motion and sound, pairing prototype-accurate detailing with a robust drive for reliable layout performance.

Highlights include a see-through cab with a full interior, LED lighting, fine-scale Celcon handrails, etched radiator and fan grilles, and a heavy die-cast frame for traction. It rides on Blomberg-B trucks with RP25 wheel contours and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), using a 21-pin NEM connector for easy DCC setup. The Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor provides smooth, quiet operation and all-wheel drive with reliable current pickup. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology streamlines installation; sound-equipped variants add an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes with full NMRA compatibility and CV-adjustable functions (CV chart included). Prototypically painted and detailed with features such as fuel tanks and roof details, it’s suitable for layout curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches.
