HO scale Union Pacific SD9043MAC Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a faithful, ready-to-run model designed to bring UP's late-1990s high-horsepower SD90MAC power to your HO layout. This UP-livery locomotive captures the distinctive styling and performance cues of the era, featuring illuminated ground lights and number boards, etched see-through walkways, and a full cab interior, while onboard DCC decoding and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound deliver authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds as you run it.

Built for smooth operation on HO tracks, this model rides on a heavy die-cast frame with eight-wheel drive, all-wheel electrical pickup, and RP25 wheels for quiet, reliable performance. It showcases scale detailing such as a detailed fuel tank, lift rings, wire grab irons, and body-mounted knuckle couplers, and it supports DCC with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector. Ready-to-run out of the box, it’s best enjoyed on layouts with a minimum 18" radius (22" is recommended) for optimum performance.
