HO U50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound GE #5000 (ATHG41184)

HO Scale U50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Santa Fe dress blues. This Legendary Liveries edition recreates GE’s 1962 high-horsepower U50 concept in a bold Santa Fe paint scheme for HO-scale railroading. Fully assembled and ready to run, the model features an on-board DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and four cube speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell audio. Illuminated truck lights, classification lights, and number-board lights, along with see-through air intakes and a detailed cab interior, bring the era to life on the layout.

Beyond looks, this U50 is built for dependable performance. It pairs a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive for solid pulling power, plus MU hoses, trainline hose, and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers for prototypical operation. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector and NMRA-compatible functions, with CVs to tune slow-speed control and MU lash-ups (CV chart included). Lighting and sound work in both DC and DCC modes, and a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) helps it run smoothly on standard HO layouts.
