{"product_id":"ath73053","title":"HO SD40T-2 Locomotive SP\/Speed Letter #8256 (ATH73053)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO-scale SD40T-2 locomotive in Southern Pacific’s Speed Lettering scheme, designed to bring the 1990s SP tunnel-motor look to an HO layout. The model reproduces the 1991 Speed Lettering updates—an 88-inch nose with a brake wheel, front ditch lights, a relocated P3 horn, and a modified front window—along with the removal of parts from the SP light package and extended-range dynamic brakes for an authentic prototype appearance. Fully assembled and ready-to-run, it offers dependable, on-layout operation with accurate detail for SP-era enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its meticulous decoration, the locomotive emphasizes performance and durability: fine-scale handrails, etched windshield wipers, see-through dynamic brake fans, LED lighting, and separately applied air tanks, all riding on an all-wheel-drive chassis with a five-pole motor for smooth, quiet running. It uses nickel-plated, blackened machined RP25 wheels and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, with a DCC-ready 21-pin NEM plug for digital control. Sound-equipped variants add an onboard Tsunami2 decoder delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC, plus full NMRA compatibility and CV-adjustable performance. Painted and lettered to resemble the prototype, it’s suited to HO layouts that use around 22-inch radius curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47570192662580,"sku":"ATH73053","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH73053.jpg?v=1773175008","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath73053","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
