HO GP40-2 Locomotive SP 7614 (ATHG-1734)

An HO-scale GP40-2 diesel locomotive in Southern Pacific livery, designed to bring authentic SP power to HO layouts. Built for mainline freights, locals, switching duties, and yard work, it captures the GP40-2’s rugged silhouette and detailed surface—from the full interior cab to lit number boards and class lights—creating a convincing miniature of the prototype. DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, the model supports easy digital control, and LED lighting throughout provides realistic illumination for night operations and signaling. Accurate paint and lettering reproduce the prototype’s appearance for a credible SP roster on any layout.

Inside, a heavy die-cast frame delivers weight and traction, while a Genesis driveline with a five-pole skew-wound motor and precision gears ensures smooth, quiet operation and strong pulling power. See-through cab windows reveal a full interior, complemented by fine Celcon handrails, etched metal fan grilles, and a detailed fuel tank with fill caps and breather pipes. The model rides on Blomberg B or M trucks and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) for reliable coupling, with RP25 wheel contours to maintain smooth operation on popular HO track. Road-number specific variations mirror SP’s GP40-2 fleet, and the minimum 18-inch radius makes it suitable for most hobby layouts; sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC decoding with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects while staying NMRA-compatible in DCC mode.
