HO 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive GTR #2321 (ATH-2683)
HO Scale 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive, GTR #2321 — a ready-to-run HO model that captures the look of the classic 4-4-0 steam locomotive widely used in the United States from the 1860s to the 1890s. This detailed model from Athearn features an injection-molded body with period-appropriate detailing, including see-through cab windows, a smoke stack, and a boiler-mounted bell to bring 19th-century railroading to life on your layout.
Power comes from a heavy die-cast frame and a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive for smooth, confident operation. It uses traction tires on two drivers for extra pulling power, plus nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for reliable running on common HO track. McHenry operating knuckle couplers, reliable electrical pickup from all drive wheels and tender wheels, and bi-directional LED lighting add realism, while the model arrives fully assembled and ready to run, painted and decorated. It’s DCC Ready with a 21-pin plug for easy DCC integration, and the minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for best performance. Sound-equipped versions add an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami for DC and DCC operation, full DCC functionality, and CV-based tuning—complete with a CV chart to help configure lash-ups of multiple units.
