HO SD40 Locomotive CR PC Patched #6261 (ATH73638)

HO-scale SD40 locomotive finished in Conrail and Penn Central patched livery, designed for HO-layout operation and display by enthusiasts who want an authentic representation of this era's freight power. The model captures the distinctive profile of the EMD SD40 and is built to run on standard HO track, making it a convincing centerpiece for any Conrail or Penn Central-era layout.

Beyond its period-accurate appearance, the model includes a range of scale details and hobby-friendly features: LED lighting, photo-etched windshield wipers, separately applied grab irons and air tanks, curved radiator fan grab irons, coupler cut levers, rubber MU hoses, and see-through cab windows. It rides on Flexicoil-C trucks with prototype brake cylinders, uses RP25 wheels, and employs McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) for reliable coupling. A robust, all-wheel-drive drivetrain with precise gearing and current pickup helps ensure smooth, quiet operation. DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped versions feature an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound and a single speaker, operable in both DC and DCC. The model supports MU lashups and embraces a minimum 18 inches radius (22 inches recommended) for best performance. The injection-molded body delivers high detail and durability for both layout use and display.
