{"product_id":"ath86879","title":"HO SD45T-2 Locomotive Cotton Belt #9395 (ATH86879)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eHO-scale SD45T-2 Locomotive in Cotton Belt livery captures SP’s tunnel-motor look from the late 1970s to the 1980s, bringing authentic power to HO layouts. It features a nose headlight, a modified “L” window cab, roof air conditioning, and a Nathan P-3 horn, along with a large front plow and anticlimber. The faded base colors recreate years of service, making this model a natural centerpiece for Cotton Belt scenes or broader SP-era operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eInside and out, the locomotive blends meticulous detailing with modern performance: fine-scale handrails, photo-etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks, LED lighting, and see-through cab and radiator details. Wheels are nickel-plated, blackened machined with RP25 contours for reliable operation on standard HO track, and McHenry operating knuckle couplers ensure smooth coupling. The drivetrain features all-wheel drive with a precision-gear, 5-pole motor and flywheels for quiet, steady running. It’s DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug, and sound-equipped versions include onboard SoundTraxx Economi sound that operates in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functionality in DCC mode and engine\/horn\/bell sounds in DC. A Primed for Grime option provides a ready starting point for adding grime and rust, while prototype details reflect the tunnel-motor lineage. Minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for best performance on typical HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924891189300,"sku":"ATH86879","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH86879.jpg?v=1782141431","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath86879","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
