HO F45 Locomotive MRL #392 (ATHG18283)

HO Scale F45 Locomotive in Montana Rail Link livery, road number 392. This fully assembled, ready-to-run model gives an authentic, highly detailed representation of the F45 for HO-layout railroading. With a heavy die-cast frame and meticulously reproduced details, it rolls on RP25-contoured wheels for realistic tracking and features a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector and includes bidirectional LED lighting to showcase the livery.

Road-number 392 includes road-number-specific touches such as a cab-mounted P3 horn, walkway ditch lights, and a Canadian-style small plow, plus MRL-specific details like the nose-mounted headlight and winterization hatch. Ditch lights are provided with LEDs, and a detailed fuel tank and scale handrails round out prototype detailing. Sound-equipped versions feature an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes with full DCC functionality and CV-driven options for MU lashups. Designed for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius (22 inches recommended), this F45 offers a compelling centerpiece for freight-era scenes.
