HO GP40-2L Locomotive Guilford MEC #510 (ATHG64843)

Introducing the HO-scale GP40-2L Locomotive in Guilford/MEC livery, road number 510—a meticulously detailed model designed for realistic freight operations on an HO layout. It faithfully reproduces the prototype’s silhouette and road-number-specific detailing, making it a convincing centerpiece for both display and operation on a model railroad.

Engineered for authentic performance, this GP40-2L rides on scale Blomberg trucks with a heavy die-cast frame for traction and uses a Genesis-style driveline with a 5-pole motor for smooth, quiet power. Inside you’ll find see-through cab windows and a full cab interior, etched metal fan grills, fine-scale Celcon handrails, and LED lighting for realistic headlights and marker lamps. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and it uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers compatible with Kadee. RP25 wheel contours help it run reliably on common HO track, and depending on the version it can include onboard Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers and full DCC functionality while operating in both DC and DCC modes. Road-number-specific detailing may include different plow configurations and other prototype touches, and the minimum layout radius is 18 inches. Some variants also feature Legendary Liveries, offering rare or proposed paint schemes that broaden the roster for collectors and proto-freelancers.
