HO GP38-2 Locomotive w/DCC and Sound (CP 'Multimark' #3042) (ATHG-1402)

HO GP38-2 diesel locomotive in CP Multimark livery, a ready-to-run HO-scale model designed for realistic freight and switching on modern layouts. This version is equipped with DCC and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds under DCC control while remaining operable on DC power. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug‑and‑play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector and features LED lighting for clear operation in yards and darker settings.

Inside, a heavy die-cast frame and a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain provide strong, smooth pulling power and quiet operation. The model rides on RP25 wheels with body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers, MU hoses, see-through cab windows, windshield wipers, a full cab interior, wire grab irons, and scale Celcon handrails for near-prototype detail. The CP Multimark scheme includes road-number-specific cues such as the relocated horn to the long hood and Timken axle bearings, plus a detailed fuel tank, walkways, and other underbody touches. Primed for grime, it offers a weathering-friendly starting point and requires a minimum turning radius of 18 inches for reliable operation on most HO layouts.
