HO GP40-2 Locomotive DT&I #424 (ATHG64833)

HO-scale GP40-2 locomotive DT&I #424 is a detailed reproduction of DT&I’s late-1970s GP40-2 order, finished in the railroad’s bright star livery. Built for high-speed freight service, this model captures era-specific details and operates smoothly on HO layouts, with features such as a nose-mounted bell, xenon beacon (effective in DCC), front plow, extra grab irons, and a firecracker antenna. It includes lit number boards and class lights, along with see-through cab windows and a full cab interior. DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM connector, it can accommodate sound-equipped configurations that deliver Tsunami2 engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC, making it a flexible centerpiece for an authentic roster. It’s designed for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius.

Under the hood, the GP40-2 features a heavy die-cast frame for traction and a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, plus all-wheel drive and current pickup for reliable operation. It rides on Blomberg-B or Blomberg-M trucks with scale bearing caps, includes a detailed fuel tank with gauges and breather pipes, see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched fan grilles, and fine Celcon handrails for a realistic silhouette. LED lighting, lit number boards, and optional beacons enhance realism, while the Primed for Grime option provides a ready starting point for weathering to resemble in-service equipment. Legendary Liveries offers distinctive paint schemes that explore popular or alternate historic looks, adding a collectible edge to the DT&I roster.
