It includes a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami and a single speaker, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds on both DC and DCC layouts. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a 5-pole motor and precision gears for smooth, quiet pulling power, while RP25-contoured wheels ensure reliable tracking across common track brands. Realistic detailing includes see-through cab windows, wire grab irons, fine-scale Celcon handrails, photo-etch windshield wipers, and fuel-tank detail with gauges and breather pipes, plus separate air tanks for added realism. LED front and rear headlights, ditch lights, and beacons illuminate the prototypeâ€™s look, with McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for accurate coupling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eRBMN-specific styling is faithfully reproduced, including mid-production body with corrugated grilles, dynamic brakes, and an 88-inch nose with ratchet, plus a 4000-gallon fuel tank and HTC sideframes. The model features onboard DCC decoding and SoundTraxx Econami sound, and is NMRA-compatible in DCC mode, with some functions limited in DC. A CV chart is included to help tune performance and enable multiple-unit lashups with lead-unit horn, bell, and lights. Fully assembled and ready-to-run, this RBMN SD40-2 pairs well with a diverse roster on layouts that use 18-inch minimum radii (22-inch recommended) and a broad range of track brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47570191548468,"sku":"ATH-1816","price":281.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1816.jpg?v=1773174980","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1816","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
