HO RTR SD40T-2 Southern Pacific Daylight #8229 (ATH72067)

HO-scale Ready-To-Run SD40T-2 locomotive in Southern Pacific Daylight livery. This six-axle diesel-electric model reproduces the SP tunnel-motor that powered freight through the era, delivering 3,000 horsepower from an EMD engine on HO layouts. The Daylight paint scheme is faithfully applied, and the model includes the characteristic front and rear gyralights, plows, and a slanted Nathan P-3 horn, along with see-through cab windows and fine-scale details that bring the SP Daylight appearance to life right out of the box.

Designed for dependable operation on standard HO track, this model combines a highly detailed injection-molded body with all-wheel electrical pickup and a 5-pole motor with flywheels for smooth, quiet performance. It’s ready-to-run, with LED lighting and a DCC-ready 21-pin NEM Quick Plug, and features include fine-scale handrails, see-through dynamic brake fans, welded construction details, photo-etch windshield wipers, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers with compatible MU hoses. Nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours help it track reliably, and a minimum 22-inch radius is recommended for best results. Replacement parts are available if maintenance is needed to keep this SP Daylight locomotive looking and performing at its best.
