HO SD60M Tri-Clops Locomotive BN #9227 (ATHG75539)

HO-scale Burlington Northern SD60M Tri-Clops Locomotive BN 9227. This model faithfully reproduces BN’s mid-1990s heavy coal-hauler, featuring the distinctive Tri-Clops three-window cab, forward ditch lights, illuminated front and rear number boards, white anticlimbers, and a small EMD front plow. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology via a 21-pin NEM connector, making it easy to add a decoder or sound module if desired.

Beyond the exterior, the locomotive is packed with prototype details and performance features: coupler cut levers, flexible Trainline and MU hoses, MU stands, walkways, windshield wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, sanding lines, lit number boards and class lights or beacons where equipped; bell placement per prototype; a detailed fuel tank with fillers, gauges, and breather pipes; EMD HTC trucks with animated bearing caps; see-through cab windows and a full interior; Celcon handrails for a scale appearance; McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible); a Genesis driveline with a five-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain; all-wheel drive with precise gears for smooth, quiet operation; all-wheel electrical pickup; RP25-contoured wheels compatible with most brands; LED lighting for realistic appearance; a heavy die-cast frame for traction and pulling power; accurate BN paint and printing, with a minimum operating radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). Sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, dual cube speakers, and full DCC functionality, with engine, horn, and bell sounds operable in DC mode as well; many functions are CV-adjustable, with a CV chart included.
