HO Gas Turbine Locomotive and Tender with DCC and Sound C&O #4500 (ATHG41248)

HO-scale Gas Turbine Locomotive and Tender with DCC and Sound in Chesapeake and Ohio livery is a ready-to-run model that recreates GE’s mid‑century turbine concept for freight service. The set pairs a gas‑turbine locomotive with a 24,000‑gallon tender and arrives fully assembled for immediate operation on a layout or display. Sound-equipped variants use a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder and four cube speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, while DCC‑ready versions include a wiring harness for straightforward DCC setup; both DC and DCC operation are supported.

At its core lies a Genesis driveline with a five-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi‑link drivetrain that delivers smooth, reliable performance and fine slow‑speed control. The model wears razor‑sharp painting in a Chesapeake & Ohio scheme around locomotive 4500 as part of the Legendary Liveries line, and uses McHenry scale knuckle couplers for prototypical operation. Designed for minimum 18-inch radius curves (22 inches recommended), the set also features a 24,000‑gallon tender to create a commanding on‑layout presence.
