HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC & Sound SP Black Widow (ATH73151)

HO Scale SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC & Sound in SP Black Widow is a detailed, ready-to-run model that captures the power and silhouette of a 3,000-horsepower EMD tunnel motor. The SP Black Widow livery reimagines the famous "bloody nose" scheme and is part of Legendary Liveries, an Athearn exclusive collection that explores popular railroad paint schemes that might have been. The locomotive features a full SP light package on both ends, a cab-mounted air conditioner, a 123-inch nose with a brake wheel, and a correctly configured Dash-2 cab, delivering an authentic look for SP-era layouts.

Under the hood, the SD40T-2 combines robust HO-scale engineering with fine detailing: all-wheel-drive chassis with precision gears for smooth, quiet operation; a five-pole motor with flywheels and a multi-link drivetrain; RP25-profile nickel-plated wheels; see-through dynamic brake fans; separate air tanks; and wire grab irons for realism. It comes fully assembled and ready to run, with a highly detailed injection-molded body painted and lettered for realism and designed for a 22-inch minimum radius. Sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 that works in both DC and DCC, full DCC functionality when used with DCC controls, and CV-adjustable options for MU lashups and customized operation; DCC-ready 21-pin NEM Quick Plug technology enables easy decoder upgrades.
