HO U50 Locomotive SP #9951 (ATHG41079)

HO U50 Locomotive SP #9951 is an HO-scale replica of Southern Pacific’s 5,000-horsepower dual-prime-mover diesel. This fully assembled, ready-to-run model recreates the U50 design—two 2,500-horsepower prime movers on a single chassis—for dramatic power on freight runs. It’s built with a DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NEM interface, and sound-equipped variants add onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for added realism on your layout.

Detail highlights include SP-style lighting such as illuminated truck lights, classification lights, and number-board lights, plus see-through air intakes and MU hoses, with a full cab interior and see-through cab windows. The drivetrain features a Genesis powertrain with a 5-pole motor, a heavy die-cast frame, and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet pulling power, while RP25 wheel contours ensure compatibility with a wide range of tracks. The model is designed for an 18-inch minimum radius (22 inches recommended). Sound-equipped variants feature onboard DCC with Tsunami2 sound and four cube speakers, full DCC functionality, and sound that operates in both DC and DCC modes; many functions are CV-adjustable, with the CV chart included for reference.
