HO EMD SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound ATSF #5064 (ATH-1266)

This HO-scale EMD SD40-2 diesel locomotive in Santa Fe livery is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model designed to bring authentic diesel power to HO layouts. Introduced in 1972 as part of EMD’s Dash-2 family, the SD40-2 became the industry standard for decades thanks to its reliability and 3,000 horsepower. The model captures that heritage with a heavy die-cast frame and all-wheel-drive performance, plus meticulous detailing that stands up to close inspection on the layout.

Sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound and a single cube speaker. Sound functions operate in both DC and DCC, with some functions limited in DC; in DCC, all functions are NMRA-compatible and programmable via CV changes, with a CV chart included for easy adjustment. The locomotive is packed with prototypical details like see-through cab windows, fine-scale Celcon handrails, wire grab irons, photo-etch windshield wipers, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges. LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons (where applicable) add realism, while a heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel drive, a 5-pole motor with flywheels, and RP25 wheels deliver smooth, quiet operation. Minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) and it ships fully assembled for immediate operation.
