HO F7A Locomotive with DCC and Sound ATSF #265C (ATHG19673)

HO Santa Fe F7A Locomotive with DCC and Sound, ATSF 265C. This HO-scale model faithfully recreates a Phase I F-unit in Santa Fe's blue-and-yellow freight scheme, designed for use on HO layouts with DCC control and built-in sound for authentic operation.

Under the shell, the locomotive features a heavy die-cast frame, LED lighting, a see-through cab with full interior, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for firm, realistic coupling. The sound-equipped version houses a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC modes. Road-number 265C-specific details include modernized grab irons on the nose and sides, cut skirts, and F3-style grills, with spark arrestors and an inertial air filter included for later appearances (installation optional). It rides on RP25 wheels for reliable pickup and operates on HO-track with a minimum 18-inch radius (22 inches recommended).
