HO SD45T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound Canadian National #406 (ATH86976)

HO scale SD45T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Canadian National livery, number 406, is a detailed representation of CN’s six-axle Tunnel Motor. It features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Economi sound, with sound units that operate in both DC and DCC, and full DCC functions available on a DCC layout.

Prototype background and features: The SD45T-2 is a GM-EMD six-axle diesel-electric locomotive powering 3600 horsepower from a 20-cylinder 645 engine, built between 1972 and 1975 and nicknamed “Tunnel Motors” for the rear cool-air intake. CN inherited a small batch of ex-SP rebuilt SD45T-2s for iron ore service. The CN version includes nose headlight, modified “L” window cab, roof air conditioning, a five-chime horn on the long hood, walkway ditch lights, and a small front anticlimber. It also features fine-scale handrails, photo-etched windshield wipers, separate air tanks, LED lighting, see-through cab windows and radiator grilles, see-through dynamic brake fans, wire grab irons with rubber MU hoses, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers. The model rides on RP25-contoured nickel-plated wheels with an all-wheel-drive drivetrain, driven by a 5-pole motor with flywheels for smooth, quiet operation. It is DCC-ready with 21-pin NEM Quick Plug technology and is designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
