HO GP9 Locomotive DCC & Sound Central of Georgia #160 (ATHG82836)

HO GP9 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, Central of Georgia #160 is an HO-scale diesel switcher that faithfully reproduces a mid-20th‑century prototype on a home or club layout. It features a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, and finely rendered details such as etched radiator grilles and scale handrails. The model includes an onboard DCC decoder paired with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate in both DC and DCC. It is fully assembled, ready to run, and uses a 21-pin NMRA plug-and-play connector for easy DCC integration and upgrades.

On the rails, the GP9 is built around a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation and dependable current pickup. Painted in Central of Georgia livery for #160, it features prototypical detailing such as wire grab irons, see-through glazing, lift rings, and scale handrails, delivering a convincing, ready-to-run model for conventional or DCC layouts. For track geometry, an 18" minimum radius is recommended, with 22" or larger providing the best performance on most layouts.
