HO FP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound CEI #1605 (ATHG19710)

HO FP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound CEI #1605 (ATHG19710)

HO FP7 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is an HO-scale reproduction of the classic FP7 diesel-electric passenger locomotive, designed for model railroaders who want an authentic, feature-rich representation of mid‑century railroading. This CEI-designated model includes a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and two cube speakers for rich, realistic audio, along with LED lighting and see-through cab windows that reveal a full cab interior. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with Blomberg-B trucks and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) for reliable operation, and it’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug‑and‑play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector, enabling use on both DC and DCC layouts.

Prototype-level detailing covers full skirts, steam generators, ladders and grabs, and other features that mirror the FP7’s appearance. Sound-equipped versions offer onboard DCC decoding with Tsunami2 sound and separate sound boards for the A and B units, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes. The model supports multiple-unit lashups, provides NMRA-compatible functions in DCC mode, and offers CV adjustments (CV chart included) for fine-tuning performance. For HO layouts, plan for radii of 18 inches (22 inches or larger recommended) to ensure smooth, reliable running.
