HO SD40-2 Locomotive HLCX #6210 (ATH-1802)

HO Scale SD40-2 Locomotive in HLCX 6210 livery is a faithful, ready-to-run HO-scale diesel designed to bring authentic freight power to your layout. Recreating EMD’s Dash 2 era with attention to detail and solid construction, the model features see-through cab windows, finely painted and printed livery, and LED headlights and ditch lights for realistic operation.

Road-number specific features for #6210 include extended-range dynamic brakes, a Sinclair antenna, and a Leslie 5-Chime horn, plus an 88-inch nose with a brakewheel and a front plow. The locomotive rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a 5-pole motor, all-wheel drive, and precise gearing for smooth, quiet operation and reliable current pickup. Sound-equipped versions use an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami and a single speaker, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work on both DC and DCC layouts; all functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC mode, though some features are limited when running in DC. A DCC-ready non-sound variant with a 21-pin NEM DCC plug is also available. Fully assembled and painted to match the roadname, it’s ready to pull freight on standard HO curves, with 18-inch minimum radii (22 inches recommended) for the best performance.
