HO GEN SDP45 Locomotive with DCC and Sound BNSF #6423 (ATHG-2036)

HO-scale EMD SDP45 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, finished in BNSF colors as part of Athearn's Legendary Liveries lineup. This ready-to-run model includes a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, and it operates on both DC and DCC layouts with NMRA-compatible control. Legendary Liveries offer iconic paint schemes for protofreelance style rosters or display, including BNSF #6423.

Designed for performance and realism, the SDP45 features a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, a heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel electrical pickup, and RP25 wheel contours for smooth, quiet operation. Fine Celcon handrails, LED lighting, and detailed fuel-tank features add lifelike detail, while body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers and a Quick Plug 21-pin NM connector simplify setup. The model ships ready-to-run and weather-ready, with weathering-friendly surfaces and grime-ready potential to match a specific era. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
