HO GP39-2u Locomotive with DCC and Sound ATSF #3415 (ATHG66353)

HO GP39-2u Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Santa Fe livery is a detailed HO-scale model recreating EMD’s GP39-2u upgrade as represented by ATSF #3415. This Phase I-bodied locomotive features chickenwire grilles, illuminated swing-out number boards, a Stratolight beacon effect when used with DCC, a newly tooled exhaust stack, a rear-mounted fuel tank, and switcher-style walkway steps plus an access door behind the cab. An onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder powers authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds through dual cube speakers, and the model runs on both DC and DCC for versatile layout operation.

Designed for prototypical accuracy and reliable operation, the GP39-2u uses a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, a heavy die-cast frame, and all-wheel electrical pickup for smooth performance. It features see-through cab windows with a full cab interior, fine-scale Celcon handrails, etched fan grilles, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible). DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector eases decoder installation, and LED lighting provides realistic headlight and status illumination. Road-number-specific details for #3415 include the Phase I body with chickenwire grilles and the Leslie 3-chime horn, plus an added access door behind the cab; the model is primed for grime to recreate weathered, in-service look, and the minimum operating radius is 18 inches for smooth operation on standard HO layouts.
