HO SD40T-2 Locomotive SP/Kodachrome #8351 (ATH73048)

HO SD40T-2 Locomotive SP/Kodachrome #8351 captures SP’s mid-1980s Kodachrome scheme in vivid red and yellow, presenting an authentic HO-scale recreation of the tunnel-motor era. This road-number-specific model includes distinctive details such as a 116” nose with ratchet brake, a cab roof-mounted bell, plows on both ends, a modified front L window, GRIP battery box doors, a standard rear headlight, and SP-style font numbers to match prototype #8351.

With a focus on realism and performance, the SD40T-2 features fine-scale handrails, photo-etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks, LED lighting, and RP25-profile wheels for reliable operation on common HO track. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug, and is available in sound-equipped versions with a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder that works in both DC and DCC, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds along with full DCC functionality and slow-speed control. The design suits HO layouts up to a 22-inch minimum-radius curves and uses McHenry operating knuckle couplers for authentic MU lashups.
