HO F45 Locomotive WSOR #1001 (ATHG18278)

HO Scale F45 Locomotive in WSOR livery, road number 1001 — a detailed, ready-to-run HO model that recreates EMD’s F45 freight locomotive as operated by the Wisconsin Southern Railway. The cowl-bodied design, full cab interior, and see-through windows deliver a lifelike presence on the layout, with period-accurate detailing that appeals to serious hobbyists.

Designed for HO layouts, this model blends a heavy die-cast frame for traction with a Genesis five-pole motor for smooth, quiet operation. It rides on RP25-contoured wheels with all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable power, and is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors; sound-equipped versions use Tsunami2 decoders for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC. Road-number specific features like a cab-mounted oscillating headlight on #1001, plus WSOR touches such as a winterization hatch, Leslie horn and Stratolight beacon, add realism. Fully assembled and ready to run, it handles HO radii as small as 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for versatile layouts.
