HO GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, NS #5334 (ATHG71828)

HO GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Norfolk Southern livery, road number 5334. This highly detailed HO-scale model recreates NS’s GP38-2s inherited from Conrail after the 1999 split, capturing authentic late-phase cues such as corrugated grilles, an anticlimber at the front, rear drop steps, and a rear weedcutter plow. It features working class lights and illuminated number boards, a Leslie 3-chime horn, forward and rear ditch lights, a small front plow, detailed fuel-tank work, and Blomberg B trucks for an authentic silhouette.

Inside, the model houses an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work on both DC and DCC power. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play 21-pin NEM connector for easy setup and CV customization, and it includes a see-through cab, full cab interior, scale handrails, and a detailed fuel tank. Built on a heavy die-cast frame and fitted with body-mounted knuckle couplers, it’s designed for smooth operation on HO layouts, with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) and the ability to lash up with other units for realistic MU operation.
