{"product_id":"athg71838","title":"HO GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound CWWR #810 (ATHG71838)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale GP38-2 locomotive with DCC and sound, recreating the Chehalis Western Railroad’s #810, this ready‑to‑run model brings a late‑era GP38‑2 to HO layouts. It captures the prototype’s distinctive look with features such as operating class lights and lighted number boards, a Leslie 5‑chime horn, dual Xenon beacons, a weedcutter front plow, a compact fuel tank, a late‑phase body with Q fans, corrugated grilles, and an 88‑inch nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood, the GP38‑2 blends performance with detail: a Genesis driveline with a 5‑pole motor, flywheels, and a multi‑link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, plus all‑wheel drive and electrical pickup for reliable pulling power. The model is built on a heavy die‑cast frame and includes see‑through cab windows and a full cab interior, walkways, wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, sander lines, and scale Celcon handrails. It is DCC‑ready with a Quick Plug 21‑pin NEM connector, and the sound‑equipped version adds an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual cube speakers, and full DCC functionality; the engine, horn, and bell sounds operate in both DC and DCC, with NMRA‑compatible functions and CV adjustments via a CV chart included in the box. MU lashups with a lead unit’s horn, bell, and lights are supported, and the layout‑friendly minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended). GP38‑2s were a common, robust replacement for older diesels starting in the early 1970s, making this a faithful homage to a classic locomotive on modern HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924979597364,"sku":"ATHG71838","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG71838.jpg?v=1782150587","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg71838","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
