HO GP15AC Locomotive with DCC and Sound (ATHG-1905)

HO Scale GP15AC Diesel Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a detailed HO model of the EMD GP15-1, a four-axle diesel-electric switcher used for yard work and light road service. This Genesis model arrives ready to run with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound plus dual speakers for rich audio. It supports both DC and DCC operation, with full DCC function control and authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in DC. A DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector simplifies installation, while fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank with gauges, see-through cab windows, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, MU hoses, and walkways with tread add prototypical detail. Body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, a heavy die-cast frame, and a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor deliver smooth, quiet operation. RP25 wheel contours ensure compatibility with most HO track, and LED lighting supports reliable operation. The model is designed for 18-inch minimum radii (22-inch recommended) and arrives ready to complement yard and mainline scenes.

Legendary Liveries offers a curated range of iconic railroad paint schemes, including historically significant and occasionally proposed or canceled schemes to expand storytelling on any roster. SOUND-EQUIPPED variants feature an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, two speakers, and full DCC functionality; engine, horn, and bell sounds are active in both DC and DCC modes, with many functions adjustable via CV changes (a CV chart is included). The GP15AC supports precise slow-speed control for realistic yard work and can be set up as a multiple-unit lashup with lead-unit horn, bell, and lights. With a robust die-cast body, prototype-informed detailing, and flexible operation, this HO-scale GP15AC locomotive delivers authentic performance and display value for model railroad layouts.
