HO GEN GP15-1 Locomotive w/DCC and Sound WFRX #564 (ATHG-1908)

HO-scale GP15-1 diesel-electric locomotive from the Athearn Genesis line, road number WFRX 564. This four-axle GP15-1, built by EMD between 1976 and 1982, is designed as a compact yard switcher or light road power, and the model arrives fully assembled and ready to run with DCC and sound for authentic operation on modern layouts.

Inside, a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and LED lighting delivers smooth, confident performance. The onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers reproduces engine, horn, and bell actions, with full DCC functionality while remaining operable on DC layouts. Road-name specifics for WFRX 564 include cab air conditioning, a Nathan K3LA horn on a bracket, a distinctive Firecracker antenna, and front and rear ditch lights. The model uses a Quick Plug 21-pin NM connector for easy DCC setup, features fine-scale Celcon handrails and a detailed fuel tank, and requires a minimum 18" radius (22" is recommended) for best operation on typical layouts.
