HO FP7A Locomotive MILW #61C (ATHG19603)

Milwaukee Road FP7A HO-Scale Locomotive, MILW 61C, is a detailed HO model that faithfully recreates GM-EMD’s 1,500-hp FP7A diesel used by the Milwaukee Road. This prototype-accurate replica captures the long body and distinctive features of MILW 61C, including see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched metal detail parts, a detailed fuel tank, and Blomberg-B trucks mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for traction. It features LED lighting with directional headlights, body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers that are Kadee compatible, and a DCC-ready Quick Plug system using a 21-pin NEM connector for easy digital control. RP25 wheel contours help it roll smoothly on most layouts, and sound-equipped versions offer onboard Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects in DCC mode.

Designed for HO layouts, this locomotive is built for reliable operation on standard tracks with all-wheel drive and a robust drivetrain that delivers steady pulling power. It’s painted and printed to prototype MILW schemes and includes Milwaukee-specific details such as roof-mounted oil coolers, winterization hatches, and back-up lights for added realism. The model targets practical, enjoyable operation on hobby layouts, with a minimum recommended radius of 18 inches (22 inches preferred) and compatibility with modern layout control systems, making it ideal for both display-worthy recreations and active Milwaukee Road rosters.
