HO FP7A Locomotive with DCC and Sound, AMTK #118 (ATHG19692)

This HO FP7A Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Amtrak markings (road number 118) is a detailed HO-scale replica of the EMD FP7A diesel—1,500 horsepower—designed for passenger service and often seen in freight pools as well. It combines a realistic shell with a built-in DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds and operable performance on both DC and DCC layouts for versatile modeling.

Power comes from a heavy die-cast frame with Blomberg-B trucks, and the model carries see-through cab interiors, etched metal and molded detail parts, plus LED lighting with directional, constant brightness. Road-number-specific Amtrak detailing for #118 includes the correct markings and prototype cues, such as icicle breakers on the A-units and dynamic brakes with an ATS box. It uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible) and RP25-contoured wheels for reliable track performance, while Quick Plug 21-pin NEM wiring keeps the DCC setup straightforward. Sound-equipped variants feature onboard DCC with Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, operable in both DC and DCC, with CVs for tuning and a CV chart included; minimum radius is 18 inches with 22 inches recommended for smooth operation.
