HO GEN SDP45 Locomotive with DCC and Sound MKCX 9511 (ATHG-2030)

HO-scale SDP45 Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a detailed, ready-to-run model that faithfully reproduces the EMD SDP45 diesel used for mid-century passenger service. This HO-scale variant captures the long-hood SDP45 configuration and is offered in Legendary Liveries, presenting iconic railroads in authentic paint. Equipped with a DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, it delivers authentic engine, horn, and bell effects through dual speakers, and it runs on both DC and DCC layouts for flexible operation.

On the rails, the model features a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel drive, and reliable current pickup for smooth, quiet performance. LED lighting, scale handrails, and body-mounted McHenry couplers enhance realism, while a detailed fuel tank with fillers, gauges, and breather pipes adds prototype accuracy. The DCC-ready Quick Plug system uses a 21-pin NMRA connector for easy DCC installation, and the onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder provides genuine engine, horn, and bell sounds in DCC mode, with all functions NMRA-compatible. The model is fully assembled and ready to run, designed for HO curves as small as 18 inches (22 inches recommended for best results) and primed for weathering to resemble in-service equipment; road-number specific detailing offers multiple scheme options to recreate a variety of SDP45 appearances.
