HO SD40T-2 Locomotive D&RGW #5405 (ATH73045)

HO-scale SD40T-2 Locomotive in Rio Grande livery, road number 5405 — a detailed, ready-to-run model that captures the distinctive tunnel-motor look of the Rio Grande's SD40T-2s from the 1970s to 1990s. This six-axle diesel-electric is designed for HO layouts and can be operated on DC or DCC layouts, with an option for onboard sound on compatible versions to add realism to a model railroad operation.

Prototype-inspired details include an 88-inch nose with brake wheel, large Sinclair antenna, relocated P3 horn, tall front ditch lights, and a Stratolight beacon. The model features fine-scale handrails, photo-etched windshield wipers, see-through dynamic brake fans, separately applied air tanks, and LED lighting, riding on RP25-profile wheels for reliable tracking. It is fully assembled and ready-to-run, with DCC-ready 21-pin NEM Quick Plug compatibility and, in sound-equipped variants, a Tsunami2 decoder delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds along with nuanced lighting and smooth slow-speed performance for authentic operation on the layout.
