HO GP50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, C&NW #5082 (ATHG65930)

HO GP50 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in CNW livery, CNW #5082, is an HO-scale, ready-to-run model that faithfully recreates EMD’s GP50 road switcher for mid‑ to late‑20th‑century layouts. Powered by a 16‑cylinder EMD 645F3B engine, the GP50 delivers about 3,500 to 3,600 horsepower and features the upgraded components and anti‑wheel-slip technology that defined the class. This CNW edition captures authentic detailing and a classic paint scheme, making it a compelling centerpiece for modern intermodal, yard, or mainline operations.

Inside and out, the model emphasizes realism and smooth operation. It includes a full cab interior and see‑through cab windows, wire grab irons, etched see‑through steps, and scale handrails mounted on a heavy die‑cast frame with all‑wheel drive for steady traction. The locomotive rides on RP25 wheels for reliable track contact and uses McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee‑compatible) for authentic coupling. The sound‑equipped version features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC modes, with full DCC functions available when operated in DCC. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, with a Quick Plug 21‑pin NEM connector for easy DCC upgrades and a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). A “Primed for grime” variant provides a starting point for weathering to match an in‑service look.
