HO SD45T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, Canadian National #405 (ATH86975)

HO-scale SD45T-2 locomotive in Canadian National livery, number 405, with DCC and sound. This detailed model captures CN’s six-axle tunnel-motor, a rebuilt SP heritage locomotive used in iron ore service, and is designed to bring authentic CN power to an HO-scale layout with immersive sound and smooth operation.

Prototype details include a nose headlight, a modified L-window cab, roof-mounted air conditioning, a five-chime horn on the long hood, and walkways with ditch lights, along with fine-scale handrails, photo-etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks, and see-through cab and radiator components. The model features all-wheel drive with precision gears and a robust five-pole motor for quiet performance, McHenry operating scale knuckles for reliable MU lashups, and onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Economi sound that operates in both DC and DCC with full function control. For layout planning, a minimum radius of 18 inches is recommended, with 22 inches preferred, reflecting its prototype size and ensuring smooth operation on many HO layouts.
