HO SDP40F Locomotive with DCC & Sound, ATSF #5260 (ATHG64224)

HO scale Santa Fe SDP40F Locomotive with DCC & Sound, road number 5260. This highly detailed model captures the SDP40F freight locomotive as it appeared in Santa Fe service, delivering authentic styling and on-board sound for modern HO layouts. The 5260 variant features plated-over steps and an enclosed platform, along with air conditioning and a forward beacon and horn for added realism.

Powered by a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual speakers, the locomotive delivers engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate on both DC and DCC. In DCC mode, all functions are NMRA-compatible for easy programming and lash-ups, while DC operation still provides functional engine sound. Road-number 5260 includes A/C, forward beacon, and horn design details, and the SDP40F-series shines with illuminated ground lights, classification lights, and number boards, plus working MU hoses and trainline hoses. A detailed cab interior, non-skid end walks, a 4,500-gallon fuel/water tank, and a sturdy die-cast frame with body-mounted knuckle couplers and RP25 wheels round out the realism. Fully assembled and ready to run, it suits HO layouts from the era with reliable, smooth operation on standard curves (minimum radius 18 inches, 22 inches recommended).
