HO U50 Locomotive GE #5000 (ATHG41084)

HO Scale GE U50 Locomotive No. 5000 is a ready-to-run diesel designed for HO-model railroad layouts. Painted in a distinctive red-and-white Legendary Liveries scheme inspired by 1960s demonstration tours, it offers a bold centerpiece for any roster. Fully assembled and ready to roll on standard HO track, this locomotive delivers authentic presence and dependable performance for everyday operation on the layout.

Notable features include illuminated truck lights, classification lights, and number boards that glow under DCC control, along with see-through air intakes and MU hoses for a lifelike silhouette. The model also includes a full cab interior, walkways, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, and a detailed fuel tank. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline—a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain—for smooth, quiet operation, it offers all-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup for steady power. RP25-contoured wheels ensure compatibility with popular HO track brands, while LED lighting keeps things bright on layout. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector enables easy decoder installation. Ships fully assembled and ready to run, with minimum operating radius 18 inches and a recommended 22 inches for best curve performance.
