HO GP40-2 Locomotive DCC & Sound, FEC #421 (ATHG-1764)

HO-scale GP40-2 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound in Florida East Coast livery, numbered 421. This model faithfully reproduces EMD’s GP40-2, a 1972-era diesel built to deliver higher horsepower and faster service, distinguished by the dash-2 modular electrical cabinet. It’s designed for HO-layout use, offering a ready-to-run locomotive that’s well suited for mainline runs, yard work, and switching duties with authentic appearance and dependable performance.

Onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and two speakers deliver clear, authentic audio and operability in both DC and DCC with full NMRA compatibility. The Genesis driveline uses a 5-pole motor for smooth, quiet operation, while LED lighting, a heavy die-cast frame, see-through cab interior, and fine-scale details like Celcon handrails and etched fan grilles enhance realism. The model features road-number- and road-name-specific detailing across schemes, including lit number boards and prototype cues, with body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), RP25 wheel contours, and a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector for easy wiring. The finish is grime-ready, offering a realistic weathering starting point, and it supports 18-inch minimum-radius curves.
