HO GP38-2 Locomotive BNSF #2099 (ATHG71733)

An HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive in BNSF Heritage I livery, this model is designed for HO-scale layouts and ready to run. Representing unit 2099, it captures an early-body GP38-2 profile with a 4-stack exhaust, a cab headlight, and a silver underframe, along with authentic details such as Sinclair antennas, etched cab mirrors, a 3,600-gallon fuel tank, and Blomberg-M trucks.

Fully assembled and ready to run on HO layouts, it features operating class lights and number boards and is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector. The model includes a full cab interior with see-through cab windows, a detailed fuel tank, walkways, windshield wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, sander lines, and scale Celcon handrails for realism. Sound-equipped versions add an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes, with CV-based customization and MU lashups. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and electrical pickup, it rides on RP25-contoured wheels for smooth operation on common HO track, with LED lighting and body-mounted scale knuckles for dependable performance. Minimum operating radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best results.
