HO EMD SD40 Locomotive ATSF 5006 Blue Yellow Warbonnet (BLI9030)

This HO-scale EMD SD40 diesel locomotive in Santa Fe’s Blue and Yellow Warbonnet livery reproduces ATSF 5006 for an authentic addition to any HO layout. It delivers prototypically accurate road numbers and paint, plus road-specific detailing and lighting that bring the real locomotive to life on a model railroad shelf. The Stealth Series version is DCC-ready with no sound and can operate on DC power out of the box; front and rear lights are directional, while other lights stay on with track power.

Road-specific detailing spans authentic touches like truck sideframes, dynamic brake hatch, and both open and closed fans, along with carefully modeled hood and cab details, horn and bell placement, and handrails and grab irons. The ABS body with a die-cast chassis provides rugged reliability and maximum tractive effort, complemented by all-wheel electrical pickup and a precision drive designed for heavy pulling and smooth slow-speed operation. It includes metal Kadee-compatible couplers, works on HO track with Code 70, 83, or 100 rails, and requires an 18-inch minimum turning radius. Lighting mirrors the prototype, with directional front and rear signals and other lights powered by track power, though some lighting functions may vary depending on the installed decoder.
