HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound SP/Kodachrome #8351 (ATH73148)

HO scale SD40T-2 locomotive with DCC and Sound in SP Kodachrome livery, road number 8351. This model recreates SP’s mid‑1980s Kodachrome repaint with authentic SP red and Santa Fe styling, and it includes a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound so engine, horn, and bell can be heard in operation. Gyra lights work in DCC, and the model features a cab roof air conditioner, a P3 horn, standard‑range dynamic brakes, and see‑through lower air intakes for added realism. Road‑number 8351-specific details include a 116‑inch nose with ratchet brake, a cab‑roof mounted bell, plows on both ends, a modified front left window, GRIP battery box doors, a standard rear headlight, and SP‑style numerals.

Beyond the look, this SD40T-2 line emphasizes scale realism and smooth operation: fine‑scale handrails, photo‑etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks, LED lighting, see‑through dynamic brake fans, and all‑wheel electrical pickup with McHenry knuckle couplers for reliable running. The model sits on nickel‑plated, blackened machined wheels in RP25 contours and uses a 5‑pole motor with flywheels and a multi‑link drivetrain for quiet performance. It is fully assembled and ready to run, featuring a detailed injection‑molded body painted and printed for prototype accuracy and a 22‑inch minimum radius. Sound‑equipped versions include onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, operable in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functions, excellent slow‑speed control, and CV‑tuning options for MU lashups and customized lighting (F5/F6) as applicable.
