HO GP18 Locomotive with DCC and Sound CNW #1775 (ATHG-1368)

HO GP18 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, CNW #1775, is a detailed HO-scale diesel model designed for realistic operation on model railroads. It combines a faithful CNW prototype appearance with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, so engine, horn, and bell sounds accompany authentic movement whether running on DC or DCC control.

Designed for faithful CNW appearance and reliable performance, this GP18 features late walkway with inspection holes, a large 2,350-gallon fuel tank, winterization hatch, early pilots with footboards, frame-mounted air tanks, dual Blatt horns, and non-dynamic brakes. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis-style 5-pole skew-wound motor and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation, and RP25 wheels ensure compatibility with most track. The model includes see-through cab windows and a full interior, fine-scale Celcon handrails, etched radiator and fan grilles, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible). It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug‑and‑play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, with an onboard DCC decoder and two cube speakers for robust sound. All functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC mode, CVs can be changed, and a CV chart is included. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
