HO SD75M Locomotive with DCC and Sound BNSF #226 (ATHG71230)

This HO-scale SD75M locomotive in BNSF livery with DCC and sound is designed for HO-model railroads, capturing late Santa Fe heritage as patches appeared on the fleet. Road-number-specific detailing includes 226 (ex-ATSF) with small cab numbers, added rear number boards, and yellow frame stripes; 231 and 249 variants feature large cab numbers and yellow stripes to reflect different prototype units. The model recreates the late-career appearance of Santa Fe units, including faded base colors and artwork that align with the BNSF patch era.

Under the hood, the model blends realistic performance and scale detail. It uses a DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NEM interface and houses an on-board SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound system, with operation on both DC and DCC and full DCC functions in DCC mode. See-through cab windows reveal a full interior; LED lighting lights the way; a heavy die-cast frame provides traction, powered by a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor for smooth, quiet operation. Scale details include coupler cut levers, MU hoses, windscreen wipers, walkways, and fine Celcon handrails, plus body-mounted knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) and RP25 wheels. Minimum radius is 18" (22" recommended). The model also offers a grime-ready finish to evoke an in-service look, with a CV chart included for tuning performance and Quick Plug 21-pin compatibility for easy setup.
