HO GP40-2 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, SP Kodachrome #7672 (ATHG-1756)

HO GP40-2 Locomotive in SP Kodachrome livery with DCC & Sound is a detailed HO-scale replica designed to reproduce the GP40-2’s 3,000-horsepower power and the dash-2 era’s modular electrical cabinet. It features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and two speakers, delivering authentic locomotive sounds in both DC and DCC operation, with full DCC functions and CV control. Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector makes setup straightforward. Rich detailing includes lit number boards, LED cab lighting, see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched fan grills, fine-scale handrails, and a heavy die-cast frame powering a Genesis driveline for smooth operation. It uses RP25 wheel contours and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), and an 18-inch minimum radius supports reliable running on common HO curves.

Designed for HO layouts, this GP40-2 is ideal for SP-era rosters and diorama scenes, combining prototypical paint with robust performance. The SP Kodachrome finish is authentic, with road-number-specific detailing to capture the look of the Kodachrome repaint. It is primed for grime, offering a ready starting point for weathering to an in-service appearance, while the model’s slow-speed control and the ability to lash up multiple units with lead unit horn, bell, and lights via CV changes enhance operational realism. The on-board sound, two-speaker system, and NMRA-compatible CVs allow modelers to tune performance and lighting to taste, making this HO GP40-2 a strong centerpiece for any HO railroad collection.
