HO F5B Locomotive with DCC and Sound PRR #9548B (ATHG19683)

HO scale PRR F5B Locomotive with DCC and Sound, road number 9548B, is a detailed diesel-electric model built to bring the Pennsylvania Railroad’s late-1940s F-units to life on an HO layout. This DCC-equipped model includes a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound system with dual cube speakers, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, while LED lighting and a see-through cab interior add visual realism. The robust die-cast frame and precision detailing support smooth, quiet operation and a convincing presence on passenger or freight runs.

Road number 9548B denotes the F5 variant, externally identical to the F3 Phase IV but equipped with heavier D27 traction motors and mixed wheel bearing caps from traded-in units. It carries a full slate of prototype details—from trainline and MU hoses to windshield wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, and sanding lines—plus body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible) and RP25 wheel contours for reliable tracking. DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector makes setup straightforward, and sound versions offer DCC operation with enhanced low-speed performance; CV changes allow tailoring of sounds and lighting, with a CV chart included. Designed for HO layouts, it fits on curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended radius of 22 inches.
