HO EMD SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, SOO #6613 (ATH-1274)

HO-scale EMD SD40-2 locomotive with DCC and sound in Soo Line #6613 is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model designed to bring authentic modern-diesel operation to HO layouts. Introduced in 1972 as part of EMD’s Dash 2 family, the SD40-2 offered reliability and versatility with 3,000 horsepower, and this model captures its rugged profile in Soo Line livery for a convincing centerpiece on any layout.

Equipped with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Econami sound, the locomotive includes a single speaker and can operate on both DC and DCC. Engine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC, while all functions remain NMRA-compatible in DCC mode, with a CV chart included for tuning. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for smooth, quiet operation, it features RP25-contour wheels for realistic tracking and bi-directional LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacons where applicable. Fully painted and printed to match the Soo Line prototype, it supports a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for reliable operation.
