HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, PFG/UP #8594 (ATH71843)

An HO-scale SD40T-2 locomotive with DCC and sound, this model provides a realistic, ready-to-run representation of General Motors’ EMD tunnel-motor. It includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate in both DC and DCC modes, with full DCC functionality when commanded. Finished in a PFG/UP livery, it offers a striking centerpiece for any HO layout.

Beyond the electronics, the locomotive emphasizes scale fidelity and dependable performance. It features fine-scale handrails, see-through cab windows, LED lighting, photo-etched windshield wipers, and separately applied air tanks, along with see-through dynamic brake fans. The chassis uses all-wheel drive with a 5-pole motor and flywheels for smooth, quiet operation, and can accept a Genesis motor retrofit for higher performance. DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug, it rides on nickel-plated, blackened wheels with RP25 contours for compatibility with most HO track. It’s offered in Legendary Liveries and Primed for grime finishes, making it ideal for weathering and customization, and is best on 22" curves or larger (18" minimum radius).
