HO FP7 Locomotive SOU #6147 (ATHG19608)

HO-scale FP7 Locomotive in Southern Railway (SOU) livery, road number 6147, a 1,500-horsepower diesel-electric model designed to haul passenger trains with steam heat for the cars behind it. This EMD FP7 captures mid‑century design with a longer body for the steam generator, see-through cab windows and a full cab interior, directional LED lighting, and a heavy die-cast frame with Blomberg‑B trucks for smooth, quiet operation. It’s DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM plug and body-mounted, Kadee-compatible couplers for reliable on-layout operation.

Road-number-specific details for 6147 include stainless-steel kick plates with blue trim on the water fill hatch, plus authentic Southern touches such as the Nathan M5 horn, cut skirts, eyebrow grabs, steam generators, back-up lights, and freight pilots. The model features see-through cab windows, detailed fuel tanks and fittings, and a robust drivetrain with a 5-pole motor, precision flywheels, and full all-wheel drive. Sound-equipped versions include a Tsunami2 decoder with dual cube speakers and operate in both DC and DCC (most functions NMRA-compatible in DCC); minimum layout radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for smooth operation when pulling passenger or freight consists.
