HO GEN SD50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound (Baltimore and Ohio #8595) (ATHG-1853)

HO Scale Genesis EMD SD50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Baltimore and Ohio livery (8595). This highly detailed HO model captures the 3,500-horsepower SD50 transition locomotive with prototype-accurate styling, including the longer hood and era-appropriate detailing. It comes equipped with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound system with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and braking sounds. LED headlights, operating number boards, and see-through cab windows enhance realism, while a heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel-drive drivetrain, and a precise 5-pole motor deliver solid pulling power and smooth, quiet operation on HO track. The model runs on both DC and DCC and offers NMRA-compliant functions with CV-based tuning for a customized feel on the layout.

Prototype-detailing spans tooling and finish, including correct door placement, weld marks, scale handrails, wire grab irons, and other cues that reflect the Baltimore and Ohio Chessie System heritage. The Genesis design features 21-pin NEM plug-and-play DCC compatibility for easy setup and a robust drivetrain for reliable, steady operation on standard HO layouts with a minimum radius of 22 inches, providing a faithful, dependable representative of 1980s–1990s motive power for discerning modelers.
