HO EMD SD40-2 Locomotive WAMX #4009 (ATH-1238)

HO-scale EMD SD40-2 Locomotive in WAMX livery, unit #4009, is a detailed, ready-to-run model that captures the Dash-2 era's rugged power and distinctive silhouette on your layout. This HO locomotive combines prototypical styling with dependable performance, making it an authentic workhorse for freight trains and a solid centerpiece for a growing roster of long-haul power.

Core engineering includes a heavy die-cast frame for traction, all-wheel drive with a smooth, quiet drive train, and RP25-wheel contours for compatibility with popular track. Fine details encompass see-through cab windows, see-through dynamic brake and radiator fans, wire grab irons, Celcon handrails, and photo-etch windshield wipers, while lighting and coupling add realism with LED headlights, ditch lights, beacons where applicable, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers. The model is available in two configurations: a sound-equipped version with onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Econami sound (single speaker) that operates in both DC and DCC, and a DCC-ready non-sound version with a 21-pin NEM plug for decoder installation. Prototypical accuracy is supported by period-accurate paint schemes and prototype-based detailing, with minimum track radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). It is fully assembled and ready to run straight from the box.
