HO F3A Locomotive Freight MKT #70A (ATHG-1704)

HO-scale F3A Locomotive in Freight MKT livery is a detailed model of General Motors EMD’s first‑generation diesel designed for mainline freight on HO layouts. It captures the bulldog nose, see‑through cab windows, full cab interior, and a host of prototype cues with finely applied detail parts and accurate paint to recreate the look of mid‑century freight power.

The model uses a Genesis drivetrain with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and a multi‑link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation. It features a heavy die‑cast frame for traction, all‑wheel electrical pickup, RP25 wheels for reliable track performance, and LED lighting for a realistic appearance. It is DCC‑ready with a Quick Plug 21‑pin NEM connector for easy decoder installation, and body‑mounted scale knuckle couplers that are Kadee‑compatible for reliable operation. Sound‑equipped versions include onboard DCC decoders with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, dual speakers, and full NMRA compatibility in DCC mode, with some functions limited in DC. The minimum curve radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
