HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound (ATH71850)

Introducing the HO scale SD40T-2 locomotive with DCC and Sound in the Burlington Northern Legendary Liveries edition—a detailed HO model built for authentic operation on model railroad layouts. In prototype terms this six-axle diesel-electric locomotive delivered about 3,000 horsepower from a 16‑cylinder EMD 645E3 engine, and the model includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound so engine, horn, and bell can be heard in both DC and DCC modes.

Designed for realism, it features fine-scale handrails, see-through cab windows, etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks and grab irons, LED lighting, and see-through dynamic brake fans, plus an all-wheel-drive drivetrain with a 5-pole motor and flywheels for smooth, quiet operation. It’s DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug and supports full NMRA-compliant functions, including MU lashups and CV-based tuning. Legendary Liveries highlight classic Burlington Northern schemes, making it a striking centerpiece for collectors, dioramas, or running on an HO layout—minimum radius 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
