HO GP38-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, CWWR #817 (ATHG71839)

HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, modeled after the Chehalis Western Railway's #817. This detailed HO model is designed for model railroaders seeking an authentic shortline locomotive for their layout, featuring operating class lights and number boards, a Leslie 5-chime horn, dual Xenon beacons, a compact fuel tank, a weedcutter front plow, late-phase body with Q fans, corrugated grilles, and an 88-inch nose.

Built on a heavy die-cast frame for solid traction, the model includes a full cab interior with see-through windows, walkways, windshield wipers, and fine-scale Celcon handrails, plus body-mounted scale knuckle couplers. The sound-equipped version adds an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual cube speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functions and NMRA compatibility. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector and ready to run on HO tracks, with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for smooth operation.
