HO FP45 Locomotive CB&Q #9999 (ATHG18289)

HO FP45 Locomotive CB&Q #9999 is a detailed HO-scale replica designed to faithfully reproduce the FP45 freight locomotive’s distinctive cowl body. This ready-to-run model features a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, wire grab irons, coupler cut levers, and CB&Q detailing such as split Leslie horns and a winterization hatch. A heavy die-cast frame, Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain deliver smooth, quiet operation and solid pulling power, while fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank, and accurately painted livery enhance visual realism. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play and a 21-pin NEM connector, with sound-equipped versions offering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds.

Designed for HO layouts, this locomotive runs on standard track and is optimized for reliable performance on curves, with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended 22 inches. It features all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25-contoured wheels for compatibility across popular brands, plus LED bidirectional lighting. In sound-equipped form, an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 delivers authentic sounds and supports operation on both DC and DCC, with full DCC functions available in DCC mode; engine, horn, and bell sounds remain active in DC. CB&Q-specific details include a steam generator option and period-correct detailing, with CVs adjustable for fine-tuning and a CV chart included in the box.
