HO GP40P-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, SP/Speed Letter #7600 (ATHG64934)

HO GP40P-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in SP Speed Lettering scheme, unit 7600. This detailed HO-scale model recreates a late-1980s SP freight locomotive rebuilt from commuter power, featuring a 3600-gallon fuel tank, a large front plow, and a roof-mounted A/C unit and bell. It carries the full SP front light package, with a modified front L-window after the steam generator equipment was removed and the horn moved to the long hood for era accuracy. The drivetrain is powered by an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC operation, all finished in SP’s Speed Lettering for a distinctive roster-ready look.

On the layout, this GP40P-2 is designed for smooth, reliable HO operation with a heavy die-cast frame for traction and LED lighting for realistic illumination. It includes DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector, see-through cab windows with a full interior, fine Celcon handrails, etched metal fan grilles, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) with all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25 wheel contours. The model accommodates an 18-inch minimum radius and is part of the Legendary Liveries concept, offering SP’s Speed Lettering scheme as a collectible, prototypical option for both display and operating layouts.
