HO F45u Locomotive with DCC and Sound ATSF #5977 (ATHG18371)

HO scale F45u Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Santa Fe livery is a ready-to-run model that faithfully recreates Electro-Motive Division's F45 cowl locomotive used by the Santa Fe for freight service. It features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for authentic engine, horn, and bell audio, operable in both DC and DCC modes. Inside there is a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, and period-accurate detailing such as a detailed fuel tank and scale handrails, all mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for solid traction and quiet running.

For HO layouts, it runs on RP25-contoured wheels with all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable power and can be configured for MU lashups with a lead unit horn, bell, and lights. Bidirectional LED lighting mirrors your direction of travel, and prototype-inspired paint and printing deliver a faithful Santa Fe appearance. Fully assembled and ready to run, this model is designed to handle standard HO track with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for smooth operation.
