HO GP50 with DCC and Sound ATSF #3847 Locomotive (ATHG65933)
HO GP50 with DCC and Sound ATSF #3847 Locomotive (ATHG65933)
HO-scale Santa Fe GP50 locomotive with DCC and sound, a detailed, ready-to-run model that captures the GP50 as operated by Santa Fe in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This Phase II variant, shown as road number 3847, features authentic updates such as a nose headlight, roof-mounted air conditioning, and period-accurate lettering, paired with a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, etched steps, and scale handrails for a true model‑maker’s look. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline and a 5-pole motor, it delivers smooth, quiet operation with all-wheel drive and reliable current pickup on common HO track. It arrives fully assembled and ready to run, using Quick Plug technology and a 21-pin NM connector for straightforward DCC integration.
Sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, two speakers, and audio that works in both DC and DCC modes with full DCC functionality. The model also supports a “primed for grime†appearance to mimic an in‑service look, making it a realistic starting point for weathering and detail work. For reliable operation on HO layouts, it features RP25 wheels and McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), with careful attention to prototypical detailing and accuracy. The GP50 is designed for yard shuffles or mainline runs, and its minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) to ensure smooth performance on standard layouts.
