HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC & Sound BN #2325 (ATHG-1820)

An HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, designed to bring Burlington Northern’s GP38-2 prototype to life on an HO layout. This model includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, delivering authentic locomotive audio in both DC and DCC operation. It uses a 21-pin NEM connector for quick plug-and-play setup and rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline for smooth, reliable pulling power. Realistic details such as LED lighting, a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers heighten the scale realism and make it well-suited for mainline freight runs, locals, or yard work on layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius.

For the BN road-number #2325, road-number-specific features include dynamic braking with a square paper air filter box, lit number boards and front class lights, plus DCC-enabled nose gyralight and Stratolite beacon. The model carries a 3600-gallon fuel tank, Blomberg B trucks, and a Leslie 5-chime horn, all faithfully reproduced for prototype fidelity. RP25-wheel contours improve tracking on HO track, and CV-based adjustments let operators tailor performance; a CV chart is included to help set up lashups and fine-tune operation.
