HO F3A Locomotive C&NW #4061-C (ATHG19569)

HO-scale CNW F3A Locomotive is a faithful reproduction of Chicago & North Western’s Phase II freight power from the late 1940s, designed for model railroad layouts. The model captures the CNW look with authentic detailing such as the bulldog nose, as-built skirts, grab irons, and the A-unit dual single-note horns with a freight pilot. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with RP25 wheel profiles for smooth operation on HO track, and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for reliable, prototypical connections. DCC-ready with Quick Plug wiring and a 21-pin NEM connector means easy digital control and realistic lighting, ready to blend into any CNW-themed scene.

Power and performance come from a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor providing quiet, steady pulling power, plus LED lighting and see-through cab windows with a full cab interior. Sound-equipped variants add an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes and supporting MU lashups. The model uses all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25 wheels for dependable operation on most HO tracks, and features such as constant-headlight lighting and finely detailed components that you can tailor via CV changes (CV chart included). Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance on tighter curves.
