HO GP18 Locomotive DCC and Sound CofG/SOU #175 (ATHG-1380)

An HO-scale GP18 locomotive with DCC and sound in the CofG/SOU 175 scheme, this model brings authentic prototype detail and dependable operation to a layout. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with Blomberg-B trucks and a 5-pole skew-wound motor for solid traction and smooth, quiet pulling power, it features see-through cab windows, a full cab interior, and fine-scale Celcon handrails for a convincing, museum-worthy appearance.

Inside, an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 drives dual cube speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC. The model supports NMRA-compatible functions, small-scale features like body-mounted knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible), RP25 wheel contours for reliable track performance, and constant LED lighting. Quick Plug plug-and-play setup with a 21-pin NEM connector simplifies installation, while the design delivers strong pulling power and smooth operation on layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
