HO U50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, UP #52 (ATHG41177)

HO Scale U50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, Union Pacific 52, is a detailed HO model that captures UP’s high‑horsepower U50 design with two complete prime movers on a single chassis. It includes an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound with four cube speakers, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell audio in both DC and DCC operation with full DCC functionality. UP-specific details include a beacon (flash function in DCC only), illuminated classification lights, illuminated number boards, working truck lights, separate see-through air intake grills, and MU hoses for a faithful Union Pacific appearance.

Built for robust, smooth operation on HO layouts, the model rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline, two 2,500‑hp prime movers powering eight traction motors, a 5‑pole skew wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi‑link drivetrain for quiet, credible performance. It features all‑wheel electrical pickup, RP25 wheels, a full cab interior, and detailed walkways, wipers, and wire grab irons. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, includes DCC‑ready Quick Plug plug‑and‑play technology with a 21‑pin NEM connector for easy DCC installation, and CV options for fine‑tuning. The minimum operating radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best results.
