HO GEN SD50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, DRGW #5515 (ATHG-1856)

HO-scale Genesis EMD SD50 locomotive with DCC and sound in DRGW livery, numbered 5515. This detailed model captures the 3,500-horsepower SD50 design from the early 1980s, offering Genesis-era craftsmanship with a realistic cab interior, correct body details, and authentic road-name signaling. It includes an on-board DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and two speakers, providing rich, prototypical audio in both DC and DCC modes, plus full DCC functionality and NMRA CV compatibility. Quick Plug plug-and-play wiring with a 21-pin NEM connector simplifies setup, while LED headlights, operating ditch lights (where applicable), and accurate markings heighten realism.

Built for HO layouts, this SD50 rides on a heavy die-cast Genesis chassis with a five-pole motor, flywheels, and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation and solid pulling power. It features body-mounted scale McHenry knuckle couplers and see-through cab windows for a credible model railroad presence. For the DRGW version, look for authentic touches such as a Nathan K5 horn, a 4,000-gallon fuel tank, nose gyralight (active in DCC), and DRGW-era details like Timken bearings and battery box doors, delivering prototype accuracy on mountain routes and long-distance runs alike.
