HO GP7R Locomotive with DCC and Sound - ROCK #4523 (ATHG-1348)

HO GP7R Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Rock Island livery is a detailed HO-scale model designed for serious rail enthusiasts who want to recreate a rebuilt GP7R switcher on their layout. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline and a 5-pole skew-wound motor for smooth, quiet operation. An onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and two cube speakers delivers authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC, while body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), RP25 wheel contours, and bidirectional LED lighting enhance realism. See-through cab windows reveal a full interior for added immersion.

Road-name details reflect Rock Island prototypes with period-correct detailing such as etched grills and accurate paint. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology via a 21-pin NEM connector and NMRA-compatible functions, with CVs adjustable via the included CV chart. It supports MU lashups with lead-unit control of horn, bell, and lights, and features all-wheel drive, a heavy frame, and precise gearing for steady, reliable operation on HO layouts. Minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended); packaging protects the model during storage.
