HO ATHEARN 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive with DCC & Sound SLSF #96 (ATH-2697)

HO-scale Athearn 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive with DCC & Sound, SLSF #96 is a faithful HO model of the classic late-19th‑century 4-4-0 freight and passenger power, built to run on modern layouts with either DC or DCC control. This ready-to-run locomotive brings period detail to life, offering reliable performance and authentic proportions for historical or mixed-traffic scenes.

Details include see-through cab windows, wire-form detailing, a smoke stack, and a boiler-mounted bell, plus bi-directional LED lighting for consistent brightness. A heavy die-cast frame and a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels provide solid pulling power, enhanced by traction tires on two drivers and reliable pickup from all drive and tender wheels. It ships fully assembled, painted, and ready to run, with nickel-plated, RP25‑contoured wheels and a DCC-ready 21-pin plug. For sound aficionados, an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami delivers authentic locomotive sounds and works on both DC and DCC with full NMRA-compatible functions; a CV chart is included and CV changes enable fine-tuning or MU lashups with lead-unit horns, bells, and lights. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with a recommended radius of 22 inches for smooth operation on standard HO curves.
