HO F7A / F7A Locomotive Set WAB #1169-A #1189 (ATHG19591)

HO-scale Wabash F7A Locomotive Set — a two-unit reproduction of Phase I F7A diesels in the classic Wabash livery, numbers 1169-A and 1189. These models capture early-1950s power with full skirts on both A-units, see-through cabs, and authentic detailing such as etched fan grilles and a heavy die-cast frame for solid traction. Designed for HO layouts, the set supports DCC-ready operation via a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers that are Kadee-compatible, making it easy to pair with other equipment on the layout.

Depending on configuration, sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC. The models feature LED lighting for realistic appearance, with prototypical beacons or Gyralights where appropriate, and a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, all-wheel drive and electrical pickup, RP25-contoured wheels, and a heavy die-cast frame for smooth, quiet operation. For layout planning, a minimum 18-inch radius is recommended, with 22 inches preferred for best performance on typical HO tracks.
