HO F3A Locomotive Monon #82-A (ATHG19579)

HO-scale F3A Locomotive in Monon livery, No. 82-A, is a detailed diesel-electric model designed for HO-scale layouts that recreate mid-century passenger power. It faithfully captures Monon’s 1947 modernization with a red-and-gray paint scheme and authentic details such as dual headlights with a rear back-up light, high radiator fans, steam generator fixtures, and chicken-wire grilles, while a see-through cab and full interior bring the locomotive to life on the layout.

On the tracks, it features a robust Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, heavy die-cast frame, and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation, plus body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible) and a DCC-ready Quick Plug system with a 21-pin NEM connector. LED lighting provides a realistic appearance, and RP25 wheels ensure compatibility with popular HO track. Sound-equipped variants add onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual cube speakers, and engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate in both DC and DCC, with many functions programmable via CVs for MU lashups and prototype-accurate effects. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
