HO EMD SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound SOO #6609 (ATH-1257)

HO-scale EMD SD40-2 locomotive with DCC and sound in Soo Line livery, #6609. This detailed model brings authentic Dash 2 power to an HO layout, combining precise detailing with realistic operation. An onboard DCC decoder drives SoundTraxx Econami sound and a dedicated speaker, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work on both DC and DCC layouts.

Built for performance and realism, the model features a heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel drive, and RP25 wheels for smooth, confident running. Prototypical details include flexible MU hoses, see-through cab windows, a detailed fuel tank with fillers and gauges, wire grab irons, Celcon handrails, photo-etch windshield wipers, and separately applied air tanks. Lighting includes LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons where applicable; it uses McHenry knuckle couplers and is ready to run right out of the box. For layout fit, a minimum radius of 18 inches is recommended, with 22 inches or more preferred for best handling of curves.
