HO ES44DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound, NS #7511 (ATHG83195)

HO-scale ES44DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Norfolk Southern livery, road number 7511. This modern GE Evolution Series freight locomotive is designed for HO layouts, delivering authentic diesel sounds, a working horn and bell, and bright headlights through an onboard DCC decoder. The model is ready to run on both DC and DCC layouts and features a two-cube speaker arrangement for clear, room-filling sound.

NS-specific details include illuminated ditch lights, tinted cab windows, a K5HL horn, electronic bell, high cab and rear headlights, a large plow, and a rear anticlimber, with alternating headlights in DCC operation. It carries a 5,000-gallon fuel tank, see-through dynamic brake vents, and a detailed interior visible through the cab. The locomotive rides on a heavy die-cast frame with body-mounted scale knuckle couplers and RP25 wheels for reliable track performance. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play 21-pin NEM compatibility and supports multi-unit lashups for coordinated horn, bell, and lights. The NS 7511 as-delivered paint scheme is faithfully replicated, capturing the prototype’s appearance on the layout.
