HO SDP40F Locomotive ATSF #5260 (ATHG64124)

HO-scale Santa Fe SDP40F locomotive, road number 5260, a detailed model designed to reproduce the early Santa Fe rebuilds of the SDP40F used in freight service. This variant features plated-over steps and an enclosed platform, air conditioning, and a forward beacon and horn, reflecting the distinctive front-end configuration of that unit. Illuminated ground lights, classification lights, and number boards, along with working truck lights, add realism for operation in dim lighting or night scenes on an HO layout.

Designed for HO layouts, the model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM for easy decoder upgrades. Some versions include onboard DCC sound with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes, with full NMRA-compatible functions. Detailing emphasizes see-through cab windows with a detailed interior, fine Celcon handrails, and a realistically modeled fuel tank with fillers and gauges, plus front and rear trainline hoses and MU hoses for authentic MU operation. It carries authentic Santa Fe styling and performance traits, with a minimum radius of 18 inches and 22 inches recommended for best running on typical layouts.
