HO EMD SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound WAMX #4009 (ATH-1265)

HO Scale EMD SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, road number WAMX 4009, is built for ready-to-run operation on HO layouts. It includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound and a single speaker for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects that respond to throttle input. Sound-equipped operation supports both DC and DCC layouts; in DCC mode, all functions are NMRA-compliant, and a CV chart is included for easy parameter adjustments. Some functions may be limited in DC mode.

Under the shell, the model features a heavy die-cast chassis and all-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth, quiet operation, plus RP25-contoured wheels for track compatibility. Fine detailing includes see-through cab windows, see-through dynamic brake and radiator fans, and photo-etch stainless steel windshield wipers, along with flexible MU hoses, a trainline hose, and detailed fuel equipment. LEDs illuminate the locomotive in both directions with headlights, ditch lights, and beacons where applicable, and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide authentic coupling. Fully assembled and ready to run, this SD40-2 is suited to HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended radius of 22 inches, and it ships in secure packaging for safe storage.
