HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, PFG/UP #8855 (ATH71846)

HO-scale SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a detailed representation of General Motors’ tunnel-motor diesel, built to haul freight on HO-scale layouts. The six-axle model delivers about 3,000 horsepower via a 16‑cylinder EMD 645E3 engine and reproduces the distinctive rear radiator intake design that set the SD40T-2 apart. It features fine-scale handrails, see-through cab windows, and other carefully replicated details that make it a convincing centerpiece for Union Pacific or Legendary Liveries-era scenes.

Sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functionality when operated in DCC mode. The locomotive is DCC-ready with 21-pin NEM Quick Plug and rides on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on HO track. It is designed for smooth performance on HO curves (minimum radius 18 inches, 22 inches recommended) and offers weathered or faded finishes as a starting point for grime and weathering.
