HO GP50 with DCC and Sound C&NW #5091 (ATHG65931)

HO-scale GP50 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound for the Chicago & North Western is a ready-to-run model designed to bring CNW power to HO layouts. It faithfully reproduces the GP50’s distinctive silhouette and CNW detailing—such as a nose-mounted gong bell and a fully modeled cab interior—while offering a DCC-ready interface for modern layouts; sound-equipped versions include a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds.

Powered by a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, the GP50 delivers smooth, quiet pulling power, backed by a heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel drive, and RP25 wheels for reliable operation on common HO track. Realistic touches include wire grab irons, etched see-through steps, a detailed fuel tank, and fine-scale Celcon handrails, with Kadee-compatible couplers for easy operation. It is designed for HO layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius (22 inches recommended) and ships ready to run; grime-ready finishing options let a weathered, in-service look be added, and the DCC-enabled version provides full NMRA-compliant control.
