HO RTR SD40T-2 Ohio Central #4026 Locomotive (ATH72077)

An HO-scale, ready-to-run SD40T-2 tunnel-motor locomotive in Ohio Central livery bearing number 4026, this six-axle diesel-electric reproduces the distinctive tunnel-motor design with cooling-system modifications for better airflow in tunnels. It’s powered by a 16-cylinder EMD 645E3 engine delivering 3,000 horsepower, reflecting the real locomotive’s performance and era (built between 1974 and 1980) for prototypical operation on HO layouts.

Fully detailed and ready to roll, the model includes fine-scale handrails, see-through cab windows, welded ECAFB, separately applied air tanks and grab irons, photo-etched windshield wipers, LED lighting, and an injection-molded body painted and printed for realistic decoration. It features a 5-pole motor with flywheels and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, all-wheel electrical pickup, see-through dynamic brake fans, a “Mushroom” nose vent, and McHenry scale knuckle spring couplers. Road-number 4026 adds standard ditchlights and a UP-style plow, with DCC-ready 21-pin NEM Quick Plug technology and nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for reliable performance on common HO track.
