HO GP40-2L Locomotive with DCC and Sound MEC #277 (ATHG64947)

An HO-scale GP40-2L locomotive with DCC and sound, finished in Maine Central’s Harvest Gold Legendary Liveries scheme (MEC #277). This model captures a late-1970s MEC GP40-2L in service, pairing prototypical detailing with a distinctive paint job that fits both operation on an HO layout and display as part of a Maine Central roster.

Built for dependable performance, it features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor for smooth, quiet running, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and all-wheel electrical pickup. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug and a 21-pin NEM connector, and uses body-mounted scale McHenry knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible). LED lighting includes headlights and lit number boards, with operating ditch lights and class lights/beacons if equipped. The onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder drives dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes, and the see-through cab reveals a full interior. Fine-scale Celcon handrails, etched fan grilles, and a detailed fuel tank with gauges enhance realism, while the model’s “Primed for grime” treatment offers a natural starting point for weathering. It requires an 18" minimum radius on HO layouts, and Legendary Liveries broadens the roster with curated, historically-inspired what-if schemes.
