It recreates the GP38-2’s dash-2 design with a modular electrical cabinet and Genesis driveline, delivering authentic performance plus onboard DCC with Tsunami2 sound for realistic horn, bell, and engine effects. The model runs in both DC and DCC modes, making it versatile for a range of layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eDesigned for reliability and realism on HO tracks, this locomotive features a heavy die-cast frame, a five-pole skew-wound motor, flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet pulling power. It uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, RP25 wheel contours, and all-wheel electrical pickup for steady traction, along with LED lighting, see-through cab windows, full cab interior, walkways, lift rings, and fine-scale handrails for authentic detail. DCC-ready with Quick Plug technology and a 21-pin NEM connector keeps digital installation straightforward, while the sound-equipped version includes a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for rich, realistic audio. Road-number-specific variants cover SP schemes such as lit number boards and late-phase details, plus BN, ASAB, CEIX, and IC options to reflect a range of prototype appearances; a minimum 18-inch radius is recommended to ensure smooth operation on most HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47571084378164,"sku":"ATHG-1827","price":278.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-1827.jpg?v=1773199537","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-1827","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
