HO GEN 4-8-8-4 Big Boy Locomotive with DCC and Sound (ATHG-2208)

HO-scale Genesis 4-8-8-4 Big Boy locomotive with DCC and sound is a high-fidelity representation of one of the era's most famous steam locomotives, built to deliver dramatic pulling power on HO layouts. This model captures the massive 4-8-8-4 arrangement with authentic detailing across the boiler, cab, and tender and is offered in Legendary Liveries featuring historically inspired paint schemes that let modelers recreate classic appearances or explore alternative histories.

Equipped with an on-board DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, it delivers rich engine, whistle and bell audio through dual speakers, with sound active on both DC and DCC layouts. In DCC mode, full DCC functions are available, while DC operation provides working engine sounds as well. The locomotive includes illuminated number boards and headlights (headlights dim when reversing), a tender back-up light, and a host of individually applied detail parts, such as piping, valves, and gauges. It features current pickup on all wheels, an upgraded loco-to-tender connection for durability, and pivoting front and rear trucks to negotiate 22-inch radius curves, making it ready to pull long freight runs with authentic steam-era presence.
