HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, D&RGW #5400 (ATH73144)

HO-scale Rio Grande SD40T-2 tunnel-motor locomotive with DCC and sound, Rio Grande #5400, is a detailed, ready-to-run model designed for HO-layout enthusiasts who want an authentic representation of DRGW's famous tunnel motors. It includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and LED lighting that operates on both DC and DCC layouts, delivering lifelike engine sounds, horn, bell, and realistic illumination.

Prototype fidelity shines in the details: an 88-inch nose with brake wheel, large Sinclair antenna, relocated P3 horn, tall front ditch lights, and a Stratolight beacon that evokes the era’s distinctive “xmas tree” lighting when paired with the factory nose Mars lights. The model also features fine-scale handrails, see-through dynamic brake fans, photo-etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks, RP25-contour wheels on all axles, welded ECAFB, and McHenry operating scale knuckles. It offers all-wheel drive with precision gearing, a five-pole motor with flywheels, DCC-ready 21-pin NM Quick Plug, and a highly decorated injection-molded body; it’s ready for operation on HO layouts with a 22-inch minimum radius.
