HO SD45T-2 Locomotive Bessamer & Lake Erie #905 (ATH86883)

HO-scale SD45T-2 Locomotive in Bessemer & Lake Erie livery is a detailed, ready-to-run model built to accurately reproduce BLE’s six-axle tunnel-motor on an HO layout. This version captures the railroad’s distinctive appearance, including a cab headlight with an upper gyral light, the Leslie 3-chime horn on the long hood, and front ditch lights, reflecting prototype rebuilds from SP/SSW units and the revised nose/cab profile used by BLE.

Designed for authentic operation, the model features fine-scale detailing, LED lighting, and a robust drive with all-wheel electrical pickup, a 5-pole motor with flywheels, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers. It rides on RP25-contoured wheels and is compatible with common track on typical 18" radius curves (22" recommended). DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug supports modern decoders, and sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Economi sound that runs in both DC and DCC with full function control, plus the ability to create MU lashups and tailor performance with CV adjustments. The BLE SD45T-2 reflects the prototype’s power and “Tunnel Motor” design, making it a realistic centerpiece for operating sessions or display on a well-planned layout.
