HO GP40-2 Locomotive RFP #142 (ATHG-1748)

An HO-scale GP40-2 Locomotive model, this detailed replica recreates the classic 1970s freight hauler with authentic Dash-2 electronics and a robust die-cast chassis for reliable pulling power. It features a see-through cab with a full interior, lit number boards and class lights, LED cab lighting, and fine detailing such as handrails and etched fan grilles. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors and supports both DC and DCC operation; sound-equipped variants add onboard DCC sound (SoundTrax Tsunami2) with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds. A minimum 18-inch radius and a grime-ready finish make it suitable for everyday operation and weathering projects.

Variants cover road-name options with authentic detailing such as lit boards, nose and cab configurations, beacons, and road-specific paint schemes drawn from prototype drawings, measurements, and photographs. RP25 wheel contours ensure smooth running on common HO track, while the heavy die-cast frame and reliable electrical pickup deliver steady performance for long freights or yard work. Designed for versatile operation, the GP40-2 supports MU lashups and CV-based customization, making it a capable centerpiece for serious HO layouts and display setups.
