HO GEN SD50 Locomotive KCS 713 (ATHG-1850)
This HO-scale Genesis EMD SD50 locomotive in Kansas City Southern livery (road number 713) is a high-detail model designed for serious HO-layout operators. Recreating the 3,500-horsepower SD50 from the early 1980s, it captures the look and feel of a transition-era diesel with era-accurate silhouette and period-specific details, including a full cab interior and see-through cab windows so the model looks right from every angle on the layout.
Built for realistic operation, it features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, and all-wheel pickup for smooth performance on HO track. The model is offered in DC and DCC configurations, with optional onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for authentic audio; DCC-equipped versions support full function control and NMRA compatibility, with Quick Plug plug-and-play 21-pin NEM connectors for easy setup. Road-name variations reproduce authentic KCS paint schemes and prototype cues—such as fuel-tank size, lighting patterns, and horn configurations—so it can stand as a convincing centerpiece on a 1980s–1990s roster.
