HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, Southern Pacific #4836 (ATHG-1826)

HO-scale GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive in Southern Pacific livery, SP #4836, with DCC and sound. This model brings a faithful HO-scale representation of the GP38-2 to the layout, featuring an onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder and dual speakers that deliver authentic horn, bell, and engine sounds on both DC and DCC operation.

This locomotive rides on a heavy die-cast frame for traction and uses a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor for smooth, quiet pulling power. It includes LED lighting, a full cab interior with see-through windows, windscreen wipers, and fine Celcon handrails for a true-scale look, plus body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers and reliable all-wheel electrical pickup. DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector makes installation straightforward, and the model is designed for HO layouts with an 18" minimum radius. Road-name SP-specific details include lit number boards and late-phase body styling with corrugated grilles, capturing the SP prototype’s distinctive appearance.
