This fully assembled, ready-to-run model captures late-era EMD styling with KCS-specific detailsâ€”an 81-inch nose with rear porch mounted brake wheel, rock plows, a larger dynamic brake housing, and high-mounted truck brake cylindersâ€”giving a distinctive KCS silhouette to any roster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eInside, it features a modern DCC-compatible Tsunami2 sound system with dual cube speakers, bi-directional LED lighting, and a newly designed, quieter can motor for smooth operation. The sound-equipped version includes an onboard DCC\/Sound decoder and operates on both DC and DCC, with NMRA-compatible functions and controllable horn, bell, and lights. The model also showcases fine-scale details such as see-through dynamic brake and cab windows, separately applied grab irons and air tanks, McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible), and RP25 wheels on Flexicoil-C trucks. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and includes a CV chart for easy configuration. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance. The SD40 derives from EMDâ€™s 1966 catalog update featuring the 3,000-horsepower 645 engine, a widely deployed workhorse on North American railroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47570188763188,"sku":"ATH87328","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH87328.jpg?v=1773174891","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath87328","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
