{"product_id":"athg19669","title":"HO F3A Locomotive with DCC and Sound C\u0026NW #4061-C (ATHG19669)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eHO-scale CNW F3A Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a faithful reproduction of Chicago and North Western's Phase II freight power, designed to bring the late-1940s CNW era to HO layouts. This A-unit captures the bulldog nose, as-built skirts, grab irons, and a see-through cab with a full interior, all mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for authentic weight and traction. Powered by a Genesis driveline with a five-pole skew-wound motor, it delivers smooth, quiet pulling performance, while LED lighting provides realistic forward and rear illumination. The sound-equipped version includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual cube speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in DCC; DC operation is supported with basic sound, though some functions are limited in DC and all functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eKey details include body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), RP25 wheel contours for reliable tracking on common HO track brands, and a host of prototype-specific details such as see-through cab windows, full cab interior, etched metal fan grilles, and a detailed fuel tank. The model features directional lighting, lift rings, windshields, and other fine touches drawn from prototype references, with a heavy die-cast frame for maximum traction. For layout compatibility, the minimum operating radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance; beacons or Gyralights, where prototypically appropriate, can be reproduced via CV adjustments in DCC mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47844014063668,"sku":"ATHG19669","price":319.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG19669.jpg?v=1779964392","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg19669","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
