HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, SP/Kodachrome #8315 (ATH73147)

HO-scale SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in SP Kodachrome livery is a high-detail, ready-to-run diesel designed for HO model railroad layouts. This model reproduces the EMD SD40T-2 tunnel motor and includes an on-board DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound for authentic horn, bell, and engine effects in both DC and DCC operation. It uses a robust 5-pole motor with flywheels, all-wheel electrical pickup, and RP25-wheel profiles to deliver smooth, reliable pulling power, and arrives fully assembled and painted to capture the vivid Kodachrome scheme.

Kodachrome-era detailing includes Gyra lights that operate in DCC, cab-roof mounted air conditioning, a P3 horn, standard-range dynamic brakes, and see-through lower air intakes. The model carries era-appropriate finishes such as a long nose with brake wheel, a cab roof-mounted bell, plows on both ends, and a modified front window with Santa Fe-style numerals, complemented by fine-scale handrails, photo-etched wipers, see-through radiator grilles, and nickel-plated wheels. It’s designed for HO layouts with a 22-inch minimum radius, and offers DCC-ready convenience with a 21-pin NEM plug for flexible control on both DC and DCC systems.
