HO EMD SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, BN #8166 (ATH-1249)

HO-scale EMD SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Burlington Northern livery (BN 8166) is a fully assembled, ready-to-run HO model that captures the Dash-2 era’s power on your layout. It features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds with LED headlights for added realism. The model runs on both DC and DCC layouts, with all functions NMRA-compatible in DCC; some features may be limited when operated in DC.

Designed for smooth, dependable operation, it uses a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and a 5-pole motor for steady pulling power and quiet running. Detailing includes see-through cab windows, fine-scale Celcon handrails, photo-etch windshield wipers, and separately applied air tanks, plus McHenry scale knuckle couplers and RP25-profile wheels for authentic appearance and layout compatibility. It supports MU lashups and CV adjustments for added realism, with a minimum 18-inch radius (22 inches recommended) for best performance on typical HO layouts.
