HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, BN #2333 (ATHG-1821)

This HO-scale EMD GP38-2 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound is a Burlington Northern‑livery model built for realistic freight operations on HO layouts. It recreates the GP38-2’s 2,000‑horsepower, 16‑cylinder, non‑turbocharged engine and dash‑2 electrical system, driving four traction motors with a Genesis drivetrain for smooth, reliable performance. An onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound system with two speakers delivers authentic engine rumble, horn, and braking noises, and the model runs on both DC and DCC with full DCC function control and NMRA compatibility for easy operation. A heavy die-cast frame adds weight and traction, while fine detailing—full cab interior, see‑through cab windows, LED lighting, wire grab irons, and scale handrails—enhances realism.

In the BN livery, it features practical details such as body‑mounted knuckle couplers, reliable all‑wheel pickup, and RP25 wheels for smooth running on standard HO track. Prototypical BN styling includes lit number boards and bold front lighting, with a minimum curve requirement of 18 inches to fit typical home layouts. The DCC/Sound system supports extensive function control and lash‑ups, including multi‑unit operation, making it a compelling and controllable centerpiece for freight runs, local switching, or yard work on your HO railroad.
