HO GEN SD60 Locomotive BN #8301 (ATHG-2146)

HO scale Genesis EMD SD60 Diesel Locomotive in Burlington Northern livery, road number 8301, is a highly detailed replica of a prototypical heavy-haul six-axle locomotive. In real life, the SD60 is a microprocessor-controlled powerhouse powered by a turbocharged EMD 710 engine that delivers over 100,000 pounds of tractive effort, with a length of 71 feet 2 inches and 40-inch wheels. This HO model captures those proportions and performance cues, making it a natural centerpiece for BN-era layouts and large industrial scenes where heavy freight traffic unfolds.

From the ground up, the model features new tooling with accurate door placement, weld marks, and scale handrails, plus a full cab interior and see-through cab windows for added realism. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play connectivity via a 21-pin NMRA interface, and LED lighting enhances operation. Sound-equipped versions bring Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers, operating in DC and DCC modes with full function control. The Burlington Northern edition carries BN-specific detailing such as an 88-inch nose with clear class lights, a 4500-gallon fuel tank with seam, rear class lights, and a nose-mounted brake ratchet, along with HTC trucks on Hyatt bearings for authentic performance. With a minimum 22-inch radius and all-wheel drive, RP25 wheel contours and a heavy die-cast frame help deliver smooth, reliable operation on a broad range of HO layouts.
