HO RTR SD40T-2 DCC & Sound Locomotive, SP/Roseville #8247 (ATH72162)

This HO-scale ready-to-run SD40T-2 locomotive in SP Roseville repaint brings authentic six-axle diesel power to HO layouts. It combines detailed styling with onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx and operates on both DC and DCC layouts, providing realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds plus full DCC functionality for versatile, authentic operation.

Prototypical detailing and practical performance go hand in hand. The model features fine-scale handrails, see-through cab windows and radiator grilles, photo-etched windshield wipers, LED lighting, and separately applied details such as air tanks and grab irons. It uses an all-wheel-drive drivetrain with a 5-pole motor and flywheels for smooth, quiet running, and rides on nickel-plated, blackened wheels with RP25 contours. DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug and NMRA-compatible DCC operation ensure easy decoder installation and full function control, while a 22" minimum radius (or larger) keeps it running reliably on common HO tracks. Replacement parts are available, and McHenry knuckle couplers enhance coupling performance and reliability.
