Description
HO Scale Genesis 2.0 SD80MAC with DCC and Sound, ex-Conrail NS 7212, is a ready-to-run HO locomotive that faithfully reproduces Norfolk Southern’s patched SD80MACs following the 1999 Conrail split. Road number 7212 features a faded to white anti-glare nose patch, a Leslie 3-chime horn, and a black patch with white numbers, capturing the distinctive transition-era appearance.
On the Genesis 2.0 platform, this model delivers both fidelity and performance: LED lighting, a see-through cab with full interior, walkways, and a heavy die-cast frame for traction. The sound-equipped version includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, with operation in both DC and DCC and full DCC functionality. The model uses a Quick Plug 21-pin interface for easy setup, McHenry scale knuckle couplers, RP25 wheel contours for reliable tracking, and a 5-pole skew-wound motor with all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet pulling power.
