HO SD60E Locomotive NS #6908 (ATHG65190)

HO-scale Norfolk Southern SD60E locomotive, road number 6908, is offered in Athearn's Legendary Liveries edition. This precision-reproduced model captures NS's rebuilt SD60E and includes road-number-specific details, such as the Nathan K5LA horn installed on 6908, to help recreate an authentic Norfolk Southern roster on a layout.

Designed for serious model railroading, the locomotive blends a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor and a heavy die-cast frame for strong, smooth pulling power and quiet operation. It features LED lighting with lit number boards and deck-mounted ditchlights, see-through cab windows and a detailed interior, fine-scale handrails, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers. The design also supports DC and DCC operation with Quick Plug 21-pin plug-and-play, and sound-equipped variants add a Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds. With RP25 wheel contours, Timken bearings on HTC trucks, and a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for best performance, it’s built to perform smoothly on common HO layouts and curves.
