HO GP40-2 Locomotive CSXT Boxcar Logo #6212 (ATHG-1740)

HO-Scale GP40-2 Locomotive in CSX Boxcar Logo livery is a highly detailed HO model for building a realistic freight fleet on your layout. Reproducing the classic 1970s-era GP40-2, the model combines a sturdy die-cast frame for traction with precise exterior details—from see-through cab windows to fine handrails and etched components. It features LED lighting with lit number boards and cab lights, and is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology for easy digital control; many versions support onboard sound. The design is compatible with standard HO track and requires only an 18-inch minimum radius, ensuring smooth operation even on moderately sized layouts. The Boxcar Logo CSX variant captures authentic CSX artwork and colors to enhance realism.

CSX Boxcar Logo variant includes road-number-specific details, including lit number boards, a 5-chime horn, mail-slot battery box doors, and a side hood-mounted bell, delivering a faithful CSX appearance. The GP40-2 shares the same robust drive system—including RP25 wheel contours and reliable all-wheel electrical pickup—for quiet, steady running. It is suitable for both DC layouts and DCC setups, with sound-equipped versions offering onboard Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers; a CV chart is included to help tailor speed, sound, and other functions to the layout. The model uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) for realistic coupling.
