HO U50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, Santa Fe #1651 (ATHG41182)

HO-scale U50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Santa Fe No. 1651. This ready-to-run HO model blends authentic 1960s U50 styling with modern electronics, featuring a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound decoder and four-cube speakers for realistic engine, horn, and alert tones. Presented in a Santa Fe Legendary Liveries scheme, it offers a striking roster addition for proto-freelance layouts or display shelves.

Detail highlights include illuminated truck, classification, and number-board lights, see-through air intakes, and a full cab interior with walkways, windshield wipers, and wire grab irons. The locomotive rides on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for steady traction, and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers with RP25 wheel contours for smooth operation on HO tracks. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM compatibility, and includes fine Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank, and a CV chart for tuning. The model ships fully assembled and ready to run, with prototype notes recalling twin FDL-16 engines and eight traction motors that powered the original U50, underscoring the scale-accurate proportions and pulling power.
