HO GP40-2 Locomotive DT&I #422 (ATHG64832)

An HO-scale GP40-2 locomotive in DT&I livery, numbered 422, this model captures the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton’s late‑1970s GP40‑2 fleet and its final locomotive order, designed for high‑speed TOFC service. It reproduces prototype cues such as a nose‑mounted bell, a Xenon beacon, a large front plow, and the corrugated grilles that mark the DT&I presentation of the era, delivering an authentic centerpiece for freight scenes on any layout.

Built for realistic operation, this GP40‑2 combines detailed craftsmanship with modern performance. It uses a Genesis driveline with a five‑pole skew‑wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi‑link drivetrain for smooth, quiet power, supported by a heavy die‑cast frame and RP25 wheel contours for dependable traction. Features include see‑through cab windows with a full interior, fine‑scale Celcon handrails, etched fan grilles, a detailed fuel tank, and body‑mounted scale knuckle couplers. LED lighting with lit number boards (and class lights where equipped), plus DCC‑ready Quick Plug and a 21‑pin NEM connector, allow easy addition of sound or full DCC operation; sound‑equipped variants offer SoundTraxx Tsunami2 with dual speakers and full NMRA‑compatible control. A minimum 18‑inch radius makes it compatible with a broad range of HO layouts.
