{"product_id":"athg-1504","title":"HO GP7u Locomotive with DCC \u0026 Sound (ATHG-1504)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO GP7u Locomotive with DCC \u0026amp; Sound is a detailed HO-scale GP7u switcher designed for authentic, versatile operation on modern layouts. It combines a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, a heavy die-cast frame, and a Genesis driveline for quiet, smooth pulling power. All-wheel drive and RP25-contoured wheels deliver reliable traction across tracks, while see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched radiator and fan grilles, and faithfully painted detailing reproduce the prototype. Body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), LED lighting, and a detailed fuel tank and air tanks further enhance realism. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector makes wiring or decoder swaps straightforward, and the model is designed for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius, offering flexible placement in yards, branches, and mainline runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eSound-equipped variants add onboard DCC decoding with Tsunami2 sound and operate on both DC and DCC layouts, with engine, horn, and bell sounds active in DC. Dual speakers deliver robust audio, and the setup supports precise slow-speed control, MU lashups, and full DCC functionality with NMRA compatibility and adjustable CVs (CV chart included). Road-number variations mirror prototype configurations from multiple railroads—ex-ATSF, INPR, CKRY, FCEN, and SFS—with options for patched or undecorated schemes for roster variety. The GP7 family dates to 1949 and saw many rebuilt units, a heritage echoed in the detailing and performance of these locomotives, which are well suited to switching, yard work, or mainline duties on contemporary HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608460771380,"sku":"ATHG-1504","price":278.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-1504.jpg?v=1774291544","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-1504","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
