HO SD45T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, Canadian National #408 (ATH86977)

HO-scale Canadian National SD45T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, CN #408, is a high-detail model designed to bring CN’s tunnel-motor era to HO layouts. This six-axle diesel-electric recreates CN’s ex-SP rebuilt SD45T-2s used in iron ore service and captures distinctive cues such as a nose headlight, a modified L-window cab, roof-mounted air conditioning, a five-chime horn on the long hood, walkway ditch lights, and a small front anticlimber for authentic silhouette and operating appeal.

On the rails it combines faithful detailing with proven performance: fine-scale handrails, photo-etched windshield wipers, separately applied air tanks and wire grab irons, LED lighting, see-through cab windows, and see-through dynamic brake fans. It rides on RP25-contoured wheels with nickel-plated, blackened machined rims and features an all-wheel-drive six-axle drivetrain driven by a 5-pole motor with flywheels for smooth, quiet operation, plus McHenry scale knuckle couplers and a DCC-ready 21-pin NEM plug. The sound-equipped version includes a SoundTraxx Economi decoder that works in both DC and DCC, delivering engine, horn and bell sounds with full DCC functionality, plus MU lashups and CV-driven customization. For layout planning, a minimum 18-inch radius is practical, with 22-inch curves recommended for best results.
