HO FP7 Locomotive SOU #6141 (ATHG19607)

The HO FP7 Locomotive in Southern Railway livery, number 6141, is an HO-scale replica of the 1,500-horsepower diesel-electric FP7 built by EMD for postwar passenger service. The model reproduces the FP7’s distinctive long body and steam-heat equipment, making it a convincing centerpiece for passenger trains on a modern HO layout. See-through cab windows and a fully detailed cab interior add realism, while faithful paint and lettering reflect the prototype’s Southern Railway heritage.

Power comes from a Genesis-style drive with a five-pole motor and precision gearing, delivering smooth, quiet operation and solid pulling power. The heavy die-cast frame and RP25 wheel contours ensure dependable traction and tracking, and LED lighting provides realistic headlights and signals. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and it uses body-mounted knuckle couplers for easy coupling to cars. Some sound-equipped versions include onboard DCC with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, operable in both DC and DCC, with full NMRA compatibility in DCC mode (DC operation may limit certain functions). For layout use, the design supports a minimum radius of 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
