The Athearn ATHG65293 is an HO scale SD60E locomotive from Norfolk Southern, honoring veterans with road number #6920 and equipped with DCC and sound. Each road number has unique features, like #6920's Veterans paint and Leslie RS5T horn. The SD60E series offers a host of details, including coupler cut levers with loops, flexible hoses, and walkway safety tread. It also has great lighting features such as lit numberboards and ground lights. The sound - equipped models come with an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers. These locomotives are scaled from prototype resources, with a Genesis driveline for smooth operation. They're also heavy - die - cast for better traction. The SD60E rebuild program enhanced the locomotive both mechanically and externally, offering better crash protection and a more spacious cab. Specifications include DCC, Tsunami2 sound, EMD prototype manufacturer, 6 axles, LED lighting, a minimum age recommendation of 14 years, and no assembly required.

Using this Athearn SD60E locomotive is a breeze. You can operate it in both DC and DCC modes. In DCC mode, you can access full functions, and you can even program a multiple unit lashup. Just connect it to your train system according to the instructions. When it comes to safety, keep it out of reach of children under 14 years old. For maintenance, clean the locomotive regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Check the wheels and electrical connections from time to time. If you notice any issues with the sound or movement, refer to the CV chart in the box to make adjustments. Also, make sure to use it on tracks with a minimum radius of 18 inches, though a 22 - inch radius is recommended for better performance.
