HO GEN SD50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, CSXT YN2 #8556 (ATHG-1857)

HO Scale Genesis EMD SD50 Locomotive with DCC & Sound in CSX YN2 #8556. This detailed HO model reproduces EMD’s 3,500-horsepower SD50 from the early 1980s and comes equipped with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for authentic operation on DC or DCC layouts.

Key features include dual speakers for richer sound, full DCC functionality with NMRA compatibility, and a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM interface for easy setup. The locomotive rides on a Genesis drivetrain with a 5-pole motor, flywheels, and all-wheel drive inside a heavy die-cast frame for smooth, confident pulling power. Prototypical detailing includes LED headlights, see-through cab windows, walkways, handrails, MU hoses, wire grab irons and lift rings. Road-number-specific CSX details for #8556 cover the Huntington repaint with black anticlimbers and CSX body placement (with additional CSX variations available), delivering an authentic CSX appearance on HO tracks with a minimum radius of 22 inches.
