HO 44 Ton Switcher DCC Strasburg Railroad #33 (BAC68203)

HO Scale GE 44-Ton Switcher with DCC Sound in Strasburg Railroad No. 33 livery is a compact, authentic switching locomotive designed for HO layouts. Built around a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with a 32-bit processor, 16-channel polyphonic sound, and up to 28 functions, it delivers realistic engine, horn, bell, and cab sounds. Features include Hyperlight headlights on both ends with Rule 17 operation or automatic direction control, Dynamic Digital Exhaust to simulate power changes on grades, and an all-wheel-drive chassis for steady pulling. Detailed truck sideframes, separately applied details, magnetically operated E-Z Mate II couplers on each end, painted cab windows, and a visible engineer figure add to the model’s realism.

On HO layouts it performs best on 18" radius curves or larger, with a compact length of about 4.9 inches. The Strasburg Railroad No. 33 livery is complemented by precise graphics, clear cab windows, and a painted engineer figure. RP25-profile metal wheels enhance the prototype look, while a broad assortment of sounds — 12 prime movers, more than 40 horns, 14 bells — plus true idle, hand brake, sander sounds, cab chatter, and Dynamic Digital Exhaust — supports engaging operation for switching work and display alike.
