HO SDP40F Locomotive with DCC & Sound ATSF #5264 (ATHG64225)

HO-scale Santa Fe SDP40F Locomotive with DCC & Sound, Santa Fe #5264, is a detailed ready-to-run model that faithfully recreates the SDP40F freight locomotives used in the 1970s. This open-step variant replicates the front steps and platform, with air conditioning, a forward beacon and horn, and illuminated ground, classification, and number-board lights. An onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound powers authentic engine, horn, and bell effects through dual speakers, and the model supports both DC and DCC operation via a 21-pin NEM connector for easy installation.

Designed for HO layouts, this locomotive combines robust performance with meticulous detailing. It rides on eight wheels with a heavy die-cast frame for traction and RP25 wheel contours for smooth operation on common tracks, and it features a detailed cab interior, see-through cab windows, fine-scale Celcon handrails, and exterior details such as front and rear trainline hoses and MU hoses. LED lighting highlights ground, classification, and number boards, while the model includes scale knuckle couplers and other realism-enhancing features. For enthusiasts who like to tune performance, many functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC mode, with CV changes possible and a CV chart included; the minimum recommended radius is 18 inches (22 inches preferred).
