HO GEN SD50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound CSXT YN2 #8563 (ATHG-1858)

HO scale Genesis EMD SD50 locomotive with DCC and sound, finished in CSX YN2 livery. This model captures EMD’s 3,500-horsepower SD50 and is designed to bring authentic late-era freight power, detailed prototype styling, and reliable operation to an HO layout.

Inside, it features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, working in both DC and DCC modes with NMRA-compatible functions and CV adjustability. The DCC-ready design uses Quick Plug plug-and-play 21-pin NEM connector for easy DCC setup. The locomotive rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a 5-pole motor and precise gearing for smooth, quiet operation and strong slow-speed performance. Road-number-specific CSX detailing for #8563 includes a CSX repaint with blue anticlimbers and CSX-style number boards, while LED headlights, see-through cab windows, and scale handrails enhance realism. A 22-inch minimum radius keeps this model friendly to most HO layouts.
