{"product_id":"athg-1360","title":"HO GP18 Locomotive NW #949 (ATHG-1360)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO GP18 Locomotive NW #949 is a highly detailed HO-scale diesel switcher designed to faithfully reproduce EMD’s GP18 for model railroad layouts. This prototype-inspired model captures the long-hood-forward profile with a see‑through cab and full interior, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, etched details, and scale handrails, all engineered for smooth, quiet operation on HO track. It uses a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, all-wheel drive with reliable electrical pickup, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers that are compatible with Kadee. The design is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, allowing easy operation on DC or DCC layouts and straightforward multi-unit lashups with constant LED lighting for steady headlight brightness in either direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAcross road-name variants, this GP18 line offers authentic schemes and road-specific details such as dynamic or non-dynamic braking, hood-mounted bells, footboards on the pilots, and a 1700-gallon fuel tank, with features like roof access hatches on non-dynamic units. The NW version is presented in Pelver blue with the “hamburger” logo, along with CNW, CCT, MSRC, NEGS, SBC and SOU options that incorporate period-correct paint and lettering. For sound-equipped versions, an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 delivers engine, horn, and bell sounds via dual cube speakers, with full DCC functionality and NMRA compatibility; a CV chart is included to tailor performance and lashups across multiple units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47610668580916,"sku":"ATHG-1360","price":239.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-1360.jpg?v=1774303407","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-1360","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
