HO GEN SDP45 Locomotive Legendary Liveries NYC (ATHG-2016)

HO scale SDP45 diesel locomotive in Legendary Liveries NYC is a detailed, ready-to-run HO model from Athearn that recreates the SDP45’s distinctive long-hood design and steam-generator-equipped configuration used for passenger service in the 1960s. It combines a heavy die-cast frame, LED lighting, a Genesis driveline for smooth operation, and DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NM connector for easy digital control.

Designed for HO layouts, it features body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank with gauges, and all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable performance on typical track. The Legendary Liveries NYC finish offers authentic, era-appropriate decals with road-number variations, while minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended). Sound-equipped versions add Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers and full DCC compatibility, and packaging protects the model during storage and shipping.
