HO RTR SD40T-2 SP/Roseville #8247 Diesel Locomotive (ATH72062)

HO scale Ready-to-Run SD40T-2 tunnel-motor locomotive in Southern Pacific Roseville livery, road number 8247. This six-axle diesel-electric model faithfully reproduces the real SD40T-2, a 3,000-horsepower locomotive designed for enhanced cooling in tunnels. The Roseville repaint includes authentic details such as a nose gyralight that has been removed, a relocated Nathan P-3 horn, tall forward ditchlights, a broken frame stripe, and a Stratolight beacon.

On the layout, this model combines ready-to-run convenience with authentic, layout-friendly performance. It features a finely detailed injection-molded body, see-through cab windows, LED lighting, and DCC Ready 21-pin NEM Quick Plug for easy decoder installation. The drivetrain delivers smooth operation with all-wheel drive and a 5-pole motor with flywheels, while separately applied air tanks, wire grab irons, photo-etched windshield wipers, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers add realism. Wheels use RP25 contours for reliable tracking on popular HO tracks, and rubber trainlines with silver ends finish the prototype look. Fully assembled and ready to run, it suits standard 22-inch-radius layouts, with replacement parts available for ongoing maintenance.
