HO GP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound Undecorated Non-Dynamic Brake Phase II (ATHG-1261)
HO GP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound Undecorated Non-Dynamic Brake Phase II (ATHG-1261)
This HO-scale GP7 locomotive with DCC and sound is an undecorated Phase II model designed for HO layouts that want authentic GP7 operation and the freedom to customize the finish. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame and uses a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor for smooth, powerful pulling, while LED lighting helps the locomotive look lifelike under normal room lighting. See-through cab windows reveal a full cab interior, and fine-scale detailing such as trainline and MU hoses, handrails, etched grilles, and scale components capture the GP7’s distinctive look. Body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) and RP25 wheel contours ensure reliable coupling and smooth running on common HO track, with a 21-pin NEM connector and Quick Plug for easy DCC setup. The undecorated shell is ideal for detailing and finishing to a chosen railroad scheme.
Sound-equipped versions add an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for clear, realistic audio. The model runs on DC or DCC, and in DCC mode it provides full function control; engine, horn, and bell sounds also operate in DC. All functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC, and CV adjustments let enthusiasts tailor speed, sound, and performance, with a CV chart included. Based on prototype resources and built for reliable, all-wheel operation, this GP7 delivers authentic appearance, prototypical drive, and versatile operation, including multi-unit lashups with lead-unit horn and lights. Minimum radius for layout operation is 18 inches.
