HO GP40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, RFP #145 (ATHG-1768)

HO GP40-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is an HO-scale model designed to bring the GP40-2’s power and presence to a modern freight roster. It features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for crisp engine, horn, and bell cues, with operation in both DC and DCC and full DCC functionality. The drive combines a heavy die-cast frame, a Genesis 5-pole motor, precise flywheels, and an all-wheel drivetrain for smooth, quiet pulling power, while LED lighting, see-through cab windows, and a full cab interior add to realism. Body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) and RP25 wheel contours help ensure reliable operation on standard HO track, and the model is built for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius.

Road-number-specific detailing covers a broad set of prototypes, with accurate paint schemes and features such as lit number boards and class lights. The model is primed for grime, replicating the faded base colors and worn appearance of in-service equipment, making it a ready-made foundation for weathering. Its range of road-name options—DRGW, SP, CSX, UP, FEC, RFP, and Chessie—adds versatility for mixed fleets, while the combination of careful decoration, precise detailing, and dependable performance delivers a convincing silhouette and solid pulling power on your HO layout.
