Explore the Athearn ATHG19537 HO scale model train set featuring F9A and F7B locomotives designed for Burlington Northern passenger service #9822 #9745. This set comes with DCC and Sound Tsunami2 for an immersive experience. In this set, for the first time in Genesis, you'll find the BN hockey stick design. Each road number has unique features. For example, #766 and #770 are former NP units assigned to freight service but still have steam - generator details and cut skirts. #777 has been in both freight and passenger service. #9822 is a former NP unit for passenger service, and #9745 is an F9 unit with a different style roof cooling coil. The locomotives are all powered, with a heavy die - cast frame for better traction and pulling power. They have DCC - ready Quick Plug™ technology, and some come with a pre - installed SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and DCC decoder. The Genesis driveline, balanced five - pole skew wound motor, and dual flywheels ensure smooth operation. Directional constant lighting with LEDs keeps the headlight brightness steady. The models are scaled accurately from prototype resources and have separately applied detail parts like cab interiors and coupler cut levers. They also feature a detailed fuel tank, body - mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, all - wheel drive, and electrical pickup. The sound - equipped models offer a great audio experience, with an onboard DCC decoder and sound boards in both A and B units. They work in both DC and DCC modes, with many functions NMRA - compatible in DCC. The F - units in this set are based on the most successful 'first generation' road diesel locomotives in North America, which replaced steam locomotives in road freight service.

Using your Athearn ATHG19537 HO scale model train set is easy. First, make sure you have the right power source for your DCC or DC operation. If you're using the DCC system, connect the train using the Quick Plug™ technology. For sound - equipped models, enjoy the engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes. When setting up your train on the track, remember the minimum radius is 18 inches. For maintenance, keep the train clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the locomotive and trucks. Check the wheels regularly for any dirt or debris that might affect operation. If any parts get damaged, replacement parts are available. When programming a multiple - unit (MU) lashup, follow the instructions in the included CV chart. Also, note that some functions are limited in DC mode, so for a full experience, DCC is recommended.
