{"product_id":"athg-1399","title":"HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive NS #5007 (ATHG-1399)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO-scale Norfolk Southern GP38-2 diesel locomotive is a precise, prototypical model designed to power NS freight trains on a layout. It captures the GP38-2’s appearance with a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges and breather pipes, all supported by a heavy die-cast frame for traction. The Genesis driveline combines a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, while RP25-contoured wheels and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers keep operation realistic across track brands. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and LED lighting adds to the prototype look; sound-equipped variants also feature Tsunami2 onboard sound with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects when used with a DCC system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eNS-specific configurations reproduce period-accurate details such as left-side all-weather windows paired with a sunshade and mirrors on the right, MU hoses on the pilots, and other cues that identify this GP38-2’s NS lettering. The model is designed to handle 18-inch minimum-radius curves and provides reliable all-wheel electrical pickup for steady performance on longer runs. Sound-equipped versions offer full DCC functionality alongside the Tsunami2 sound suite, while the craftsmanship supports weathering and grime work to mirror a well-worn, in-service locomotive on vivid NS scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47609053708340,"sku":"ATHG-1399","price":191.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-1399.jpg?v=1774293070","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-1399","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
