HO GP50 C&NW #5082 Locomotive (ATHG65830)

HO-scale GP50 diesel locomotive in Chicago & North Western livery, CNW #5082. This ready-to-run model recreates GM’s EMD GP50 road switcher from the early 1980s, capturing era-accurate styling such as a Phase I body, a nose-mounted gong bell, Sinclair antenna, and a Western Cullen beacon that can be activated under digital control. It reflects CNW’s use of these units for fast TOFC freights before mergers, making it a faithful centerpiece for a CNW roster on an HO layout.

Inside, the locomotive carries authentic, scale-level detailing: full cab interior, see-through cab windows, etched see-through steps, and scale handrails plus flexible trainline and MU hoses, all mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for solid traction. It rides on RP25-wheel contours for compatibility with common HO track and uses McHenry scale-knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible). The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology via a 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped variants add Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell effects. A proven Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor ensures smooth, quiet operation and reliable electrical pickup, with a minimum turning radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) and packaging that keeps the model secure when stored.
