HO ES40DC Locomotive Norfolk Southern Primer #7561 (ATHG83096)

HO-scale Norfolk Southern ES40DC locomotive in primer livery. This detailed model reproduces a modern GE Evolution-era NS power unit for realistic operation on a Norfolk Southern layout. It features NS-specific details such as a K5HL horn, electronic bell, high cab headlights, a high-mounted rear headlight, a large plow, rear anticlimber, and alternating front and rear ditch lights that function in DCC mode.

The model is designed for authentic operation and easy upgrades: illuminated ditch lights, tinted cab windows, antenna and GPS domes, see-through cab with a full interior, and fine-scale Celcon handrails. It uses a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet performance, plus body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers and RP25 wheels for reliable track compatibility. LED lighting, a heavy die-cast frame, and accurate NS livery round out the details, and it ships fully assembled and ready to run. DCC-ready Quick Plug technology provides a 21-pin NEM connector for easy sound installation; sound-equipped versions add an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual speakers, and full DCC functionality (engine, horn, and bell sounds active in DC as well), with a CV chart included for tuning.
