HO EMD SD40 Blue with Yellow Paragon 4 C&O 7462 Locomotive (BLI7633)

HO-scale EMD SD40 diesel locomotive in Chesapeake and Ohio blue and yellow, road number 7462, equipped with Paragon 4 sound and control system featuring Rolling Thunder. This model is designed for realistic HO-scale railroading, delivering authentic diesel sound, lighting, and performance for prototypical freight operations on a layout.

Powered by a dual-mode decoder with Back EMF for smooth slow-speed operation on DC and DCC layouts, it also includes an integral GoPack capacitor for reliable power delivery. The ABS body rides on a die-cast chassis with all-wheel electrical pickup and a precision drive designed for heavy pulling and steady performance. Prototypically accurate paint schemes and road numbers sit alongside numerous separately applied details—handrails, grab irons, horns, bells, wipers, and etched grills—to give this locomotive lifelike scale presence. It ships with two metal Kadee-compatible couplers, runs on Code 70, 83, and 100 track, and requires an 18-inch minimum radius; road-specific features like dynamic brake hatch, multiple fan configurations, and hood and cab details help replicate the EMD SD40’s distinctive silhouette and operation.
