HO GEN SDP45 Locomotive BNSF #6428 Legendary Liveries (ATHG-2014)

HO Scale EMD SDP45 Locomotive — BNSF #6428, Legendary Liveries. This HO-scale model reproduces the EMD SDP45 diesel locomotive in a classic BNSF Legendary Liveries scheme, numbered 6428. Part of Athearn’s Legendary Liveries line, these editions imagine iconic railroad paint schemes from history, making them ideal for collectors, display, or protofreelance operation. Fully assembled and ready to run, the model is designed to fit neatly into standard HO layouts out of the box.

Designed for authentic HO operation, the SDP45 features a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for smooth, reliable performance. It includes LED lighting, a detailed fuel tank and full cab interior, plus body-mounted scale knuckle couplers and finely detailed handrails for a realistic look. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug and a 21-pin NEM connector for easy sound or decoder upgrades, and it rides on a heavy die-cast frame for traction and presence. Minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) to ensure smooth operation on typical layouts.
