HO RTR SD40T-2 D&RGW #5353 Diesel-Electric Locomotive (ATH72073)

HO scale Ready-To-Run SD40T-2 diesel-electric locomotive in Denver & Rio Grande Western livery (#5353) captures the distinctive tunnel-motor look of the prototype. Fully assembled and ready to run, this model features authentic detailing—fine-scale handrails, see-through cab windows, see-through radiator grilles, and other cues—that bring the locomotive’s character to life on any layout.

On the rails, it delivers solid HO performance thanks to all-wheel drive with precision gears and a 5-pole motor with flywheels for smooth, quiet operation. It’s DCC Ready with a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug, rides on RP25 wheels for reliable tracking on standard HO track, and includes McHenry scale knuckle spring couplers, rubber trainlines with silver ends, and separately applied air tanks for extra realism. Painted and printed for realistic decoration, the model is ready to run out of the box, with LED lighting and available replacement parts such as motor brushes, and a 22-inch minimum radius is recommended.
