HO GP38-2 Locomotive IC #9567 (ATHG-1810)

HO GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive IC 9567 is a detailed HO-scale model that recreates the EMD GP38-2 for realistic freight operations on a home layout. This Illinois Central variant features a thin white frame stripe and a removed front plow, and it rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline and a 5-pole motor for smooth pulling power. It includes full cab interior, see-through windows, LED lighting, body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, fine Celcon handrails, and RP25 wheels for compatibility with common HO track. DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector, plus all-wheel electrical pickup, makes for straightforward installation and reliable performance.

This IC-numbered model captures era-specific details such as Ex-GM&O heritage, a Nathan P5 horn, and an Early Phase 1 body, with road-number-specific variants carrying distinctive markings and features (for example 9567’s thin white frame stripe and removed plow). Optional sound-equipped versions add a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound, dual speakers, and full DCC functionality; a CV chart is included for easy programming. With an 18-inch minimum radius requirement, this GP38-2 is designed to run smoothly on typical HO layouts and provides authentic, prototype-accurate operation across mainline and switching duties.
