HO GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound BNSF #2277 (ATHG71834)

This HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive in BNSF Heritage I livery, road number 2277, comes with DCC and sound for immediate operation on a model railroad. It’s a ready-to-run model designed to deliver authentic freight-hauling performance, with a realistic level of detail and a plug-and-play DCC interface for simple setup.

Detailing reflects the GP38-2 era, including an early body with close fans, a four-stack exhaust, etched cab-side mirrors, Sinclair antennas in small and large sizes, a 3600-gallon fuel tank, and Blomberg-M trucks. The model features operating class lights and number boards, see-through cab windows with a full interior, walkways, and scale handrails for added realism. In sound-equipped versions, an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers provides engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC modes, with CV adjustments possible via the included CV chart. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with RP25 wheels and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, it’s ready to run on layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
