HO U50 Locomotive UP #41 with Sound (ATHG41075)

HO-scale Union Pacific U50 locomotive, UP #41, is a twin-prime-mover diesel model designed to reproduce the late-1960s high-horsepower freight hauler. The unit features two 2,500-horsepower prime movers for a combined 5,000 horsepower, along with UP styling and a robust lighting package that includes illuminated truck lights, classification lights, and number boards, plus see-through air intakes and MU hoses. Unit #41 is historically notable for bearing UP's "We Can Handle It" slogan, a detail faithfully captured in this release. A sound-equipped version adds authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds via a dedicated decoder and four speakers and remains compatible with both DC and DCC layouts.

Built for HO layouts, this locomotive is ready to run on standard HO track and features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank with gauges, and a full cab interior visible through see-through cab windows. It uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers and RP25-wheeled trucks for smooth operation on a wide range of HO track. The model is available in a DCC-ready configuration with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, plus SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for realistic engine, horn, and bell effects; DC operation is supported as well. The minimum recommended curve radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches preferred for optimal performance.
