{"product_id":"athg-1726","title":"HO F7A Locomotive with DCC \u0026 Sound (ATHG-1726)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eHO-scale F7A Locomotive with DCC \u0026amp; Sound is a detailed reproduction of GM-EMD’s iconic F-unit, designed for HO-layout mainline and yard scenes. The model captures the bulldog-nose silhouette, see-through cab windows, and a wealth of finely crafted details—from etched metal grills to a painted fuel tank. Inside, a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 provides authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, while dual cube speakers deliver clear, room-filling audio on both DC and DCC layouts. LED lighting with directional control, body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), RP25 wheels, and a heavy die-cast frame combine for smooth, reliable operation. Quick Plug 21-pin DCC-ready connectivity simplifies wiring, and the model includes trainline and MU hoses, windshield wipers, and coupler cut levers for extra realism. Offered in two freight-livery variants with road-number-specific paint schemes, it’s built to run on HO track with an 18-inch minimum radius and 22 inches is recommended for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eF-units were among GM-EMD’s first-generation mainline diesels, a milestone in North American railroad history. This F7A recreates that heritage with prototypical details, accurate paint schemes, and a robust drivetrain that delivers quiet operation and dependable low-speed performance. The model is primed for grime weathering to mirror in-service locomotives, and supports DCC operation with NMRA-compatible functions and CV-based sound and lighting adjustments. Whether powering long freight runs or busy yard moves, this F7A pair offers a convincing blend of historical character and modern digital control for an engaging modeling experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47609441058868,"sku":"ATHG-1726","price":304.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-1726.jpg?v=1774293966","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-1726","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
