This is a 'Ready To Roll' model from the Athearn Genesis brand. The box has some minor shelf wear and scuffs, and the instructions are not included. The Southern Pacific (SP) purchased 26 SD39 locomotives in two orders, and No. 5314 was part of the first order delivered in 1968. These locomotives were used for helper service on mountain passes. This model is lightly weathered, perfectly representing the look of SP diesel locomotives in the 1970s - just check out the photos! It's an ideal model for 1970s Southern Pacific train enthusiasts. **Details** - **Brand**: Athearn Genesis - **Part Number**: ATH98890 - **Condition**: C - 7 Excellent - **Wheel Wear**: Minimal - **Noise**: Almost silent with hardly any gearbox or motor noise - **Operation**: Runs smoothly - **Motor**: Can Motor - **Control**: DCC and Sound - Soundtraxx Economi DCC & Sound - **Lighting**: Front and rear headlights along with a Mars light - **Decorated**: Factory - decorated as SP No. 5314 - **Backhead/Interior Detail**: Yes, with basic cab details - **Couplers/Trucks**: Plastic knuckle spring couplers - **Packaging**: Original box and packing **Shipping** - **Domestic USA**: Free shipping for all purchases over $199!

Using this HO scale model train is a breeze. First, make sure you have a compatible DCC system set up. You can control the locomotive's speed, direction, and sound using the DCC controller. The front and rear headlights and Mars light will automatically turn on when the locomotive is powered. Just enjoy watching it run on your model train track. When it comes to handling, be gentle with the locomotive as it's a delicate item. Avoid dropping or bumping it, as this could damage the motor, couplers, or other parts. For maintenance, it's a good idea to keep the locomotive clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris. If you notice any issues with the wheel wear, check the wheels regularly. Minimal wheel wear is normal, but if it becomes excessive, you might need to replace the wheels. When storing the locomotive, keep it in the original box and packing to protect it from damage. And remember, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us.
