HO SDP40F Locomotive with DCC and Sound BNSF #6975 (ATHG64226)

HO-scale SDP40F Locomotive with DCC and Sound in BNSF livery, road number 6975. This highly detailed HO model reproduces the SDP40F diesel with onboard DCC and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 audio for realistic engine, horn, and bell effects on a layout. It operates on both DC and DCC layouts and arrives fully assembled and ready to run. Lighting includes illuminated ground lights, classification lights, and number boards, with working truck lights for extra realism. The cab interior is meticulously modeled and visible through see-through cab windows, while front and rear trainline hoses and MU hoses add to the prototype feel. Non-skid end walks, walkways, and a heavy die-cast frame with eight-wheel drive deliver smooth, quiet performance, and RP25-contoured wheels help it track reliably on common HO track.

Road-number-specific details for 6975 include air conditioning, Sinclair antenna, and a notched nose with modified steps. This Legendary Liveries edition offers an alternate-history paint scheme inspired by ex-Santa Fe SDF40-2 rebuilds used by BNSF, making it a distinctive addition to any roster. The model features Quick Plug plug-and-play DCC with a 21-pin NEM connector for easy decoder upgrades and full DCC functionality, while the sound system operates in both DC and DCC with engine, horn, and bell sounds. A CV chart is included for customizing performance, and Legendary Liveries invites imaginative schemes that spark conversation. For HO layouts, minimum curve radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best operation and appearance.
