HO GEN GP39-2 Phase I Locomotive with DCC and Sound - DH #7617 (ATHG-1993)

HO scale GP39-2 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound in Phase I body is a faithful representation of EMD's mid-horsepower road switcher from the late 1970s. Equipped with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, dual cube speakers, and LED lighting, this model delivers authentic horn, engine rumble, and lighting effects on both DC and DCC layouts. Its detailed exterior, see-through cab, lit number boards, and prototype-accurate detailing make it ideal for realistic scenes and immersive operation.

Under the shell, a Genesis driveline with a five-pole skew-wound motor, machined flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain provides smooth, reliable traction and quiet running, while a heavy die-cast frame adds pulling power. Body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible), RP25 wheel contours, and precise paint schemes mirror the prototype; DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play support with a 21-pin NM connector simplifies updates. The model features etched metal fan grilles, detailed fuel tanks with gauges and breather pipes, and a full cab interior, plus a minimum 18-inch radius to fit standard HO layouts.
