HO SD60E Locomotive with DCC and Sound, NS #7002 (ATHG65296)

HO-scale SD60E Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Norfolk Southern livery, road number 7002, is a detailed HO model designed to bring NS’s modern SD60E remanufacture to life on a home layout. It features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for rich, realistic audio, plus full DCC functionality so engine, horn, and bell sounds can be enjoyed in DCC mode while remaining operable on DC layouts. The locomotive combines a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis-style driveline for smooth, quiet operation, and offers LED lighting, lit numberboards, and deck-mounted ditchlights to enhance realism. McHenry scale knuckle couplers provide prototypical, Kadee-compatible operation, and the model includes fine-scale handrails and a detailed cab interior for authentic presentation.

Road-number-specific detailing for NS 7002 includes a 3,900-gallon fuel tank and walkway guards with NS Horsehead cut-outs, along with a suite of prototype features such as coupler cut levers with loops, flexible trainline and MU hoses, MU stands, walkways with safety tread, windshield wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, sanding lines, sunshades, and anticlimbers, with cab windows that are clear or tinted as appropriate. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin connector for easy setup, with NMRA-compliant CVs and the ability to program MU lashups and other settings (CV chart included). A minimum curve radius of 18 inches is recommended, with 22 inches preferred for smooth operation. This NS model is part of Legendary Liveries, offering a distinctive, collectible paint scheme for NS fans and operators alike.
