HO GP50 Locomotive Burlington Northern #3112 (ATHG65824)

HO GP50 locomotive Burlington Northern #3112 — a detailed, ready-to-run HO-scale model that brings the GP50’s distinctive design to your layout. This BN variant features a Phase II body with an angled blower housing, a small EMD plow, and a Stratolite beacon, with the orange-and-white front seen on prototype units. Inside, the cab is fully detailed with see-through windows, while exterior touches include wire grab irons, etched see-through steps, walkways, and scale handrails. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, with McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible) and RP25 wheels for smooth operation on most tracks. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector makes wiring simple for DCC enthusiasts.

Performance and realism go hand in hand in this GP50. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis-style drivetrain and a 5-pole skew-wound motor for steady power and quiet operation, plus all-wheel electrical pickup. Sound-equipped versions add an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes with NMRA-compatible function control. The model is scaled from prototype resources—drawings, measurements, and photos—to ensure accurate paint and detailing, including the orange-front BN scheme for #3112 and a Stratolite beacon. It’s also primed for grime weathering to achieve a true in-service look, and it’s designed for radii as small as 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
