HO GEN SD60 Locomotive SOO #6012 (ATHG-2149)

HO Scale Genesis SD60 diesel locomotive in Soo Line livery, numbered 6012. This six-axle, heavy-haul model faithfully reproduces the Genesis SD60 prototype with a microprocessor-controlled power system and a rugged drive designed for realistic performance on HO layouts. The Soo Line version captures the long, imposing profile and signature details that model railroaders expect on mainline runs or busy yards. With new tooling and dedicated detailing—correct door placements, weld marks, and scale handrails—the model presents a convincing, photograph-ready representation of the prototype.

Designed for dependable operation, the model features a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, wire grab irons, and LED lighting for authentic daytime and nighttime scenes. It’s prepared for both DC and DCC use, and DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug; sound-equipped versions pair Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for richer audio. The powertrain uses a heavy die-cast frame and all-wheel drive for solid traction and smooth operation, while RP25 wheel contours help it track reliably on most HO tracks. Soo Line-specific details include an 88-inch nose with clear class lights, a seam-free 4500-gallon fuel tank, a nose-mounted brake wheel, Xenon beacon, and HTC trucks with Timken bearings, delivering a faithful prototype appearance on layout. A minimum turning radius of 22 inches makes it suitable for a broad range of HO layouts.
