HO GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, UP #2022 (ATHG71836)
Union Pacific HO-scale GP38-2 locomotive with DCC and sound in UP 2022 livery. This detailed model brings a classic UP road switcher to an HO layout, with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects. The #2022 unit reflects an 1980s repaint with larger hood lettering and a UP shield on the cab, plus UP-specific details such as lighted class lights and number boards, a Leslie 3-chime horn, a xenon beacon, a large fuel tank, a firecracker antenna, newly tooled roof conduit and coupler levers, and truck-mounted re-rails alongside regular EMD steps for an authentic silhouette.
Under the shell, Genesis-inspired detailing delivers smooth operation: see-through cab windows with a full cab interior, scale handrails, windshields, a heavy die-cast frame, and RP25-contoured wheels for reliable running on common tracks. The model uses a 21-pin NEM connector for easy DCC setup, and sound-equipped versions operate on both DC and DCC with full DCC functions and precise slow-speed control. It’s fully assembled and ready to run, with minimum track radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) to ensure steady performance on typical layouts.
