HO GEN SD50 Locomotive KCS #707 (ATHG-1849)
HO scale Kansas City Southern SD50 locomotive in KCS livery from the Genesis line, designed to bring a prototypical 1980s SD50 to life on HO layouts. This detailed model captures the 3,500-horsepower transition locomotive of that era, featuring a full cab interior, see‑through cab windows, LED headlights and number boards, and a heavy die-cast frame for authentic weight and traction. It’s built for DC or DCC operation and uses Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector, delivering a ready-to-run, highly realistic representation of KCS #707 on the layout.
On the rails, the Genesis SD50 combines rugged, smooth-operation engineering with scale detailing. It features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for quiet, reliable performance, plus all-wheel drive and dependable current pickup. Road-name specific touches for Kansas City Southern include a 4500‑gallon fuel tank, frame-mounted bell, Leslie 5-chime horn, and an offset cab headlight with a warning light (DCC effect), along with dual Xenon strobe lights (effect in DCC) and a large exhaust stack—all aimed at delivering the authentic look and feel of a late-80s SD50 on your layout.
