HO GEN SD60 Locomotive Canadian National #5431 (ATHG-2161)

HO Genesis EMD SD60 Diesel Locomotive in Canadian National livery, CN #5431, is a high-detail HO-scale model designed for serious model railroading. Built to reproduce the prototype's six-axle, microprocessor-controlled power, this SD60 captures the heft and presence of late-era CN freight operations on a roughly 71-foot frame, with authentic detailing and rugged construction for realistic on-layout performance.

From the outside to the drive system, the model blends precision engineering with modern operation: new tooling with correct door placement and weld marks, option for early or late handrail placement, walkways, see-through cab windows, full cab interior, wire grab irons, MU hoses, and working lights for a true scale look. The Genesis driveline uses a 5-pole motor with flywheels and all-wheel drive, paired with RP25 wheel contours and LED lighting for smooth, quiet operation and reliable current pickup. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector, and LED headlights ensure dependable DC or DCC operation; sound-equipped versions feature onboard DCC decoding with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual cube speakers for realistic cab sounds and full DCC function control via CVs. CN-specific details include an 88-inch nose with blanked class lights, a 4500-gallon fuel tank (no seam), a nose-mounted brake wheel, an air dryer, spare knuckles on the rear pilot, and ditchlights for prototype accuracy; minimum radius is 22 inches, making it a versatile addition to many layouts.
