HO F7A Locomotive with DCC and Sound, C&WC #901 (ATHG19687)

HO F7A Locomotive with DCC and Sound in C&WC 901 livery is an HO-scale diesel locomotive designed for realistic freight operations on model railroads. This model combines a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for authentic engine noises, horn, and bell, and it runs on both DC and DCC layouts for flexible installation.

Designed to replicate the Phase I F7, it features a heavy die-cast frame, Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, and all-wheel drive for smooth, powerful pulling. Prototypical details include dual single-note air horns, freight pilot, as-built grab irons and skirts, back-up lights, windscreen wipers, and a see-through cab with a full interior. The model uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible), RP25-contoured wheels, and a DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin connector, with NMRA-compatible functions in DCC and MU lashups supported. It also includes a CV chart for adjustments and secure packaging for safe storage; minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
