HO GEN SD60 Locomotive NS #6569 (ATHG-2157)

Norfolk Southern NS-numbered HO-scale Genesis EMD SD60 locomotive, NS #6569, is a detailed HO model crafted for serious railroading. This six-axle diesel reproduces the prototype with a microprocessor-controlled drive, a 71-foot-2-inch length, and a heavy die-cast frame that delivers solid traction. Inside, a full cab interior and see-through cab windows add realism, while LED lighting keeps operations clear on dim layouts. The DCC-ready chassis features a 21-pin NEM connector for easy decoder installation, and sound-equipped versions offer Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for authentic locomotive audio. With all-wheel drive, precision gearing, and reliable current pickup, it delivers smooth, quiet performance on most HO tracks.

For the Norfolk Southern livery, NS-specific detailing includes an 88-inch nose with clear class lights, dual fuel gauges, a nose-mounted brake wheel, an air dryer, and Hyatt-bearing trucks to match prototype equipment. The model reflects careful prototype research through accurate painting and printing, scale-correct handrails and walkways, and other period-accurate touches. Designed for HO layouts, it handles minimum radii around 22 inches and ships in secure packaging to protect delicate features during storage or transport.
