HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive w/DCC & Sound, UP '80s' #2165 (ATHG-1414)

HO Scale GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Union Pacific's 1980s livery, road number 2165. This highly detailed HO model brings authentic UP power to model railroad layouts, pairing accurate paint and markings with modern electronics for realistic sound, lighting, and motion.

Features include a DCC-ready Quick Plug system with a 21-pin NEM connector and an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound plus dual speakers for clear audio. The locomotive runs on both DC and DCC with full DCC functions and precise slow-speed control, and it supports MU lashups. Additional detail includes a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, fine-scale Celcon handrails, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges and breather pipes. The heavy die-cast frame adds traction and pulling power, while RP25 wheel contours, LED lighting, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers enhance on-layout performance. Road-number-specific UP features like mid/late body with corrugated grills and Q-fans, plus a 3600-gallon fuel tank, add prototype authenticity. Minimum radius is 18 inches, making it suitable for most HO layouts.
