HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound - Potash/WRIX #35022 (ATH73156)

HO-scale SD40T-2 tunnel-motor locomotive with DCC and sound in Potash/WRIX livery. This six-axle diesel-electric model captures the look and power of the era, driven by a 3,000-horsepower EMD 645E3 engine and built on a highly detailed injection-molded body. The Dash-2 cab, see-through radiator grilles, and LED lighting deliver a convincing silhouette, while onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and full DCC functionality bring engine, horn, and bell to life. Fully assembled and ready to run, it operates on DC or DCC and is compatible with 21-pin NEM Quick Plug technology for easy decoder upgrades. A 22" minimum radius is recommended for smooth operation on most HO layouts.

Designed for authentic operation, this model features fine-scale handrails, etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks, see-through dynamic brake fans, and see-through radiator grilles, all mounted on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The six-axle drivetrain uses a 5-pole motor with flywheels for quiet, reliable performance and true all-wheel drive. The Potash/WRIX livery adds era-appropriate detail, including cab air conditioning and operating front and rear ditch lights with large snowplows. The locomotive supports MU lashups and CV-based adjustments for fine-tuning speed and sound, making it a versatile centerpiece for both DC and DCC layouts.
