HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound UP Baby Wings Yellow Sill #578 (ATHG-1417)

An HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive in Union Pacific’s “Baby Wings” with Yellow Sill livery, road number 578. This DCC-equipped and sound-equipped model is designed for HO layouts, delivering authentic road power and operation with a plug‑and‑play 21-pin DCC interface and a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder paired with dual cube speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell audio.

Under the hood lies a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain that provide smooth, quiet pulling power. Exterior detail includes see‑through cab windows with a full cab interior, scale handrails, and a detailed fuel tank, all mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for durability and traction. RP25 wheel contours ensure smooth operation on popular HO track, while LED lighting and body‑mounted couplers enhance realism. The model runs on both DC and DCC, with all functions NMRA-compatible in DCC mode, and a CV chart included for easy lashups; minimum radius for operation is 18 inches.
