HO GP40-2L Locomotive with DCC & Sound, Guilford/MEC #518 (ATHG64945)

HO-scale Guilford/MEC GP40-2L Locomotive with DCC & Sound, unit #518, is a detailed model designed to faithfully reproduce a classic Northeast freight locomotive. It combines authentic Guilford/MEC styling with modern, on-layout performance, making it ideal for both display and operating sessions on an HO layout.

Powered by a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, this locomotive delivers engine rumble, horn blasts, and bell chimes that work in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functionality when in DCC mode. It features operating ditch lights, lit number boards, and other lighting to mirror prototype signaling, plus see-through cab windows with a full interior, fine-scale Celcon handrails, etched fan grilles, and a detailed fuel tank. The heavy die-cast frame, Blomberg-M trucks, and RP25 wheels provide smooth, quiet operation on standard HO track, and the model negotiates an 18" minimum radius. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and Legendary Liveries adds collectible, historically inspired paint schemes to the roster.
