HO SD40T-2 Locomotive PFG/UP #8802 (ATH71745)

HO SD40T-2 Locomotive in PFG/UP #8802 livery is a detailed HO-scale replica of GM-EMD’s six-axle tunnel motor, designed to bring authentic North American railroading to hobby layouts. It faithfully reproduces the late-Dash-2 cab, see-through cab windows, and the distinctive cooling-system features that earned the SD40T-2 its nickname, along with the 88-inch nose without class lights, a hood-mounted Nathan 3-chime horn, front ditch lights, a 4,500-gallon fuel tank, and an extended-range dynamic brake system. This Legendary Liveries release presents a classic, historically significant paint scheme for proto-freelance rosters or display, while LED lighting and a DCC-ready 21-pin NEM plug make it straightforward to operate on both DC and DCC layouts.

On the rails, it’s built for both visual accuracy and reliable running. Fine-scale handrails, see-through cab and radiator grilles, see-through dynamic brake fans, and separately applied air tanks and grab irons deliver lifelike detailing, while McHenry scale couplers enable authentic MU lashups. The model rides on RP25-contour nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels and uses a 5-pole motor with flywheels and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation; the chassis is all‑wheel drive and ready for Genesis motor retrofit if higher power is desired. Optional sound-equipped variants feature onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Econami for engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC with full function control, and grime-ready finishes provide a ready starting point for weathering to match in-service equipment. The minimum turning radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance on typical HO layouts.
