HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, IC #9564 (ATHG-1823)

An HO-scale EMD GP38-2 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, this model offers a faithful, ready-to-run representation of a versatile 1970s freight workhorse for HO layouts. It captures the dash-2 design with a heavy die-cast frame and a smooth, quiet drivetrain, and it includes a full cab interior, see-through windows, LED lighting, and body-mounted knuckle couplers for realistic operation. Road-number detailing mirrors prototype variations, such as IC 9564 with a thick white frame stripe and a small front plow, for authentic appearance on your roster.

Inside, the onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound delivers authentic locomotive audio through dual speakers and runs in both DC and DCC with full NMRA-compatible functions. The model is designed for easy installation with Quick Plug plug-and-play wiring and a 21-pin NEM connector, and it includes features such as MU hoses, trainline hoses, RP25 wheel contours, wire grab irons, windscreen wipers, and LED lighting for added realism. Built on a heavy die-cast chassis with a five-pole driveline, it offers strong pulling power and smooth, reliable performance on HO layouts, with an 18-inch minimum radius to fit standard tracks and curves.
