HO SD40T-2 Locomotive SP #8262 (ATH71748)

HO-scale SD40T-2 locomotive in Southern Pacific SP livery reproduces EMD’s tunnel-motor freight hauler with authentic road numbers and detailing. Road number 8262 is captured with a finely molded injection-molded body, see-through cab windows, and LED lighting for realistic operation on HO layouts. Designed for HO-scale model railroading, this model is compatible with both DC and DCC layouts, making it easy to mix with other equipment on a single layout.

On the performance and detail side, it features an all-wheel-drive chassis, a five-pole motor for smooth, quiet operation, and finely crafted parts like handrails, windshield wipers, air tanks, and nickel-plated wheels with RP25 contours. DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug accommodates an optional onboard SoundTraxx Econami decoder on sound-equipped versions, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes. SP-specific touches include a late Dash-2 cab arrangement, see-through radiator grills, gyralight-style front and rear lighting, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers. The model is MU-ready and suited for layouts of various radii, with a minimum recommended radius of 18 inches (22 inches preferred) for optimal operation.
