HO SD60E Locomotive with DCC and Sound, Norfolk Southern #6913 (ATHG65291)

An HO-scale SD60E locomotive with DCC and sound captures Norfolk Southern road number 6913 for realistic, ready-to-run operation on HO layouts. This model combines a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline and LED lighting to deliver a convincing presence on the rails. An onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, paired with two speakers, provides authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes, with full DCC function support. Road-number-specific detailing adds prototype accuracy, including a long-hood Nathan 5-chime horn and other finely rendered cues.

Performance and realism come from a 5-pole skew-wound Genesis motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation. All-wheel electrical pickup, RP25 wheel contours, and a heavy die-cast frame contribute to dependable traction and reliable running. Exterior detailing includes see-through cab windows, a painted cab interior, lit number boards, and ditchlights, while Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin connector keep installation straightforward and compatible with DCC and DC layouts. The model also features Kadee-compatible couplers for reliable lash-ups, with a minimum recommended radius of 18 inches (22 inches or larger is preferred) for best performance.
