HO U50 Locomotive SF #1657 (ATHG41083)

HO U50 Locomotive Santa Fe #1657 is a highly detailed HO-scale model recreating Santa Fe’s U50 in its iconic dress blues. Fully assembled and ready-to-run, this locomotive features illuminated truck lights, illuminated classification lights, and illuminated number boards, plus see-through air intake grills and MU hoses for authentic detail. It’s part of the Legendary Liveries line, which imagines alternate takes on classic paint schemes, making this a striking addition to any Santa Fe roster or prototype collection.

Under the shell sits a Genesis diesel powertrain in a heavy die-cast frame with a 5-pole motor and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation and solid pulling power on HO track. The model includes a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, walkways, wipers, and wire grab irons, with body-mounted scale knuckle couplers and RP25 wheels for authentic operation. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors, and sound-equipped versions add a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with four cube speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC. With prototype-accurate painting and detailed fuel tanks and intakes, this HO U50 provides a ready-to-run centerpiece for a Santa Fe-themed layout.
