HO GP18 Locomotive CCT #1790 (ATHG-1350)

HO GP18 Locomotive in CNW CCT livery is a detailed HO-scale diesel road-switcher designed to power and bring authenticity to a model railroad. It’s offered in DCC-ready form for easy layout integration, and in sound-equipped versions that deliver onboard engine, horn, and bell sounds on both DC and DCC layouts. Prototypical detailing includes see-through cab windows with a full interior, correctly placed lights and horn, etched grills, and scale handrails for a convincing, era-accurate look.

Built for reliable, smooth operation, the GP18 uses a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain inside a heavy die-cast frame for traction. It rides on RP25-contoured wheels with body-mounted, Kadee-compatible couplers for steady tracking on common HO track. Features such as roof-access hatches on non-dynamic variants and Nathan P5 horn options mirror prototype practice, while Quick Plug DCC connectivity and CV programming enable easy upgrades and MU lashups for realistic operation on CNW/CCT rosters or mixed-era layouts.
