HO GP18 Locomotive CNW #1776 (ATHG-1353)

HO Scale GP18 Locomotive CNW 1776 — a detailed HO-scale replica of EMD's GP18 switcher in CNW livery. Designed for model railroading enthusiasts seeking authentic CNW power on their layout, this locomotive features see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched radiator and fan grilles, and fine Celcon handrails for a true-to-scale look. The Genesis driveline uses a five-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain to deliver smooth, quiet operation, while RP25 wheel contours and all-wheel electrical pickup ensure reliable running on common HO track. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) provide secure, prototypical couplings.

CNW-specific features faithfully capture the prototype: late walkway with inspection holes, large 2350-gallon fuel tank, winterization hatch, early pilots with footboards, and frame-mounted air tanks, plus dual Blatt horns and non-dynamic brakes. The CNW 1776 variant wears the Bicentennial paint scheme with a beacon. Sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in DC and DCC, with full DCC functionality when operated in DCC mode; many functions are adjustable via CV changes, with a CV chart included in the box.
