HO SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound HLCX #6236 (ATH-1812)

HO-scale SD40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in HLCX livery, road number 6236. This fully assembled, ready-to-run model brings the power and detail of a modern SD40-2 to an HO layout, delivering realistic operation and lighting for everyday use.

Inside, an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami provides authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds through a single cube speaker, with sound usable on both DC and DCC. In DCC mode, all functions are NMRA-compatible, and performance can be tuned via CVs (a CV chart is included). The model features LED headlights, ditch lights, and beacon lighting where prototypes permit, plus detailed touches such as see-through cab windows, scale handrails, photo-etch windshield wipers, and a detailed fuel system. Built on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive, RP25 wheels, and a 5-pole motor, it offers smooth, quiet operation and strong pulling power. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches or larger recommended for best results, and it arrives fully assembled and ready to run right out of the box.
