HO SD40 Locomotive with DCC and Sound Colorado & Southern #878 (ATH87334)

This HO-scale SD40 locomotive with DCC and sound reproduces Colorado & Southern unit #878 for realistic operation on HO layouts. Fully assembled and ready to run, it blends authentic detailing with dependable performance, giving model railroaders a convincing Colorado & Southern centerpiece for their layout.

Beyond the livery, the model features bi-directional LED lighting, McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible), rubber MU hoses, see-through dynamic brake, radiator fans and cab windows, and fine detailing such as chicken wire radiator grills and a rear pilot-mounted handbrake. It rides on Flexicoil-C trucks with accurate fuel and air tanks, and benefits from an all-wheel drive system and reliable current pickup for smooth, quiet operation. DCC-ready Quick Plug technology makes installation easy, and the sound-equipped version adds a Tsunami2 DCC/Sound decoder with dual cube speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds (with full NMRA compatibility in DCC and limited DC functionality). Designed for HO layouts, it supports minimum radii of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) and features a highly detailed injection-molded body with realistic paint and printing.
