HO FP7 Locomotive CR #4369 (ATHG19597)

HO scale FP7 Locomotive in Conrail livery, road number 4369, is a detailed diesel-electric model designed to faithfully reproduce the FP7’s distinctive profile and performance on an HO layout. The prototype 1,500 horsepower locomotive carried an auxiliary water tank and steam generator to heat trailing passenger cars, a feature that necessitated a longer body and is accurately represented in this scale model for an authentic appearance on display or during operation.

On the layout, it features see-through cab windows and a full cab interior, along with etched metal and injection-molded detail parts, LED lighting, and a heavy die-cast frame for enhanced traction. It is designed for modern HO layouts with RP25 wheel contours for smooth operation on common track and all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable running. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectivity, and some road-number variants include onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell effects. Road number 4369 specifically retains the steam generator and water tank and uses the M-3 horn, with era-appropriate features such as MU connections and cut levers. Minimum curve radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for smooth performance on diverse layouts.
