HO RTR SD38 with DCC & Sound B&LE #866 (ATH88938)

HO-scale SD38 diesel-electric locomotive with DCC and sound in B&LE road-number 866. This ready-to-run model faithfully reproduces GM-EMD's six-axle SD38, delivering authentic diesel performance and on-board sound for HO-layout enthusiasts seeking a realistic, reliable locomotive on their layout.

BLE-specific details for 866 include a Leslie 3-chime horn, a black-painted left-side walkway, front and rear ditch lights, battery danger decals, and a modern loop-style coupler cut lever, while the broader SD38 design offers features such as separately applied wire grab irons, see-through cab windows, see-through dynamic brake and radiator fans, and finely decorated injection-molded body. It is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NMRA Quick Plug and compatible with SoundTraxx Econami onboard sound, functioning in both DC and DCC modes with full DCC functionality; it provides all-wheel drive with precision gears, a 5-pole skew-wound motor with flywheels, RP25 wheel contours for compatibility with popular HO tracks, and a 22-inch radius is recommended for smooth operation. Fully assembled and ready to run.
