HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive w/DCC and Sound CR #8253 (ATHG-1408)

An HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, this model faithfully reproduces late-era GP38-2 power for mainline and yard service. It features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, plus all-wheel drive and reliable electrical pickup. Realistic detailing includes a full cab interior with see-through windows, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, and fine-scale Celcon handrails, along with a detailed fuel tank and accurately painted schemes.

Equipped for both DC and DCC operation, it uses onboard DCC with a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound decoder and dual cube speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in DC and full DCC functions when in DCC mode. The model includes a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector for easy installation, LED lighting, body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, RP25 wheel contours, and a grime-ready finish suitable for weathering. It is designed for an 18-inch minimum radius and offers road-number variations that reflect prototype configurations, making it a versatile HO-scale locomotive for a detailed layout.
