HO 4-8-2 MT-4 Steam Locomotive with DCC and Sound (Green Boiler #4353) (ATHG71657)

HO-scale MT-4 Mountain 4-8-2 steam locomotive in Southern Pacific green boiler livery, an HO-layout-ready model designed to faithfully reproduce SP’s Mt-4 class with DCC and sound. This model includes a tender-mounted DCC decoder with SoundTrax Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for robust, realistic audio. It runs on both DC and DCC power and supports full NMRA functionality, with a CV chart included for fine-tuning. A bright LED headlight and the option to display skyline casing enhance the look, while features like see-through running boards contribute to authentic detail on the layout.

Replicating SP Mt-4-era service from 1926 to 1958, it captures the early green boiler scheme, boiler-tube pilot, and Alligator crosshead, paired with a 160-C-1 semi-Vanderbilt tender. Factory-installed detailing includes builder’s plates, cab interior details, lighted number boards, a riveted firebox backhead, and adjustable cab windows and doors. The locomotive benefits from upgraded features such as dual speakers for clear sound, an improved tender-to-loco harness, better electrical pickup, and enhanced traction, all designed to ensure smooth performance on HO tracks with a minimum 22" radius. It rides with scale McHenry knuckle couplers and features see-through running boards for a realistic mountain-haul presentation.
