HO SD60E Locomotive NS #7002 (ATHG65196)

HO-scale Norfolk Southern SD60E Locomotive, road number 7002, is a highly detailed model built to faithfully reproduce NS’s modern SD60E rebuild for HO layouts. This road-number-specific release recreates the 3,900-gallon fuel tank and the walkway guard with NS Horsehead cut-outs on the 7002 unit, along with lit number boards, deck-mounted ditchlights, see-through cab windows with a detailed interior, and a long-hood mounted air horn. A heavy die-cast frame and a Genesis-style five-pole motor deliver solid traction and quiet operation, while RP25-contoured wheels and all-wheel electrical pickup help ensure reliable performance on common HO track.

On the layout, the SD60E offers authentic operation with LEDs that stay bright in both directions and prototype-level detailing such as coupler cut levers, MU hoses, walkways with safety tread, step detail, and see-through radiator fans. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin interfaces for easy decoder installation, and some versions include onboard Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for engine, horn, and bell cues in DC or DCC. Designed for HO radii as small as 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance, it brings Norfolk Southern’s modern heavy-haul power to layouts.
