HO GEN GP15-1 Locomotive w/DCC & SOUND Southern Railway SOU #5313 (ATHG-1910)

HO Scale GP15-1 Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Southern Railway livery (SOU #5313) recreates the four-axle EMD GP15-1 switcher in an accurate, ready-to-run HO model. Built by EMD for yard work and light road service between 1976 and 1982, this GP15-1 captures its purpose with a detailed cab interior, see-through cab windows, wire grab irons, and a finely rendered fuel tank. The model includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, while remaining compatible with DC layouts. A heavy die-cast frame, fine-scale Celcon handrails, RP25 wheel contours, LED lighting, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers round out the realism for dependable operation on busy layouts.

Styled in the Southern Railway Legendary Liveries scheme, this edition emphasizes a classic, prototypical appearance and offers road-number specific details across variant schemes. Southern features include operating class lights (DCC only), Blomberg M trucks, Nathan 3-chime horn on both ends, long hood forward operation (DCC), lit number boards, a high short hood, and no front anticlimber. The GP15-1 rides on RP25 wheels with contours suited to popular HO track, and includes quick-plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector for potential DCC upgrades. It’s fully assembled and ready to run on HO layouts with a minimum 18" radius (22" recommended), making it a compelling addition for modelers building an accurate GP15-1 roster or recreating Southern-era rosters.
