HO GP39-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound CSX/YN3 #4300 (ATHG66349)

HO GP39-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in CSX/YN3 #4300 livery. This HO-scale model recreates CSX’s late-1980s ex-Reading/D&H GP39-2 fleet with an early phase I body, accurate CSX artwork and colors, illuminated number boards, front and rear ditch lights, and a five-chime horn. It features a roof-mounted A/C unit and a nose hatch, plus Chessie/CSX mail-slot style battery box doors to capture the prototype's character. Road-number specific details for #4300 include CSX-style ditch lights (alternate flash in DCC mode), a small front EMD plow, and mixed Hyatt and Timkin bearing Blomberg B trucks with outer brake shoes removed.

For power and sound, the model is built as a DCC-ready platform with Quick Plug plug‑and‑play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector. The sound-equipped version carries an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, dual cube speakers, and full DCC functionality—engine, horn, and bell sounds work in both DC and DCC. The GP39-2 features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, plus all-wheel drive and electrical pickup. LED lighting, see-through cab windows with a full cab interior, fine-scale Celcon handrails, etched fan grilles, and a heavy die-cast frame add realism and traction, while RP25-contour wheels ensure compatibility with popular HO track. Minimum radius is 18 inches, and the model is primed for grime weathering, with packaging designed to protect it during storage.
