N EMD SD40-2 USMC Fantasy Scheme Paragon4 Sound DC DCC (BLI9475)

EMD SD40-2 in a USMC fantasy scheme with Paragon4 Sound and DC/DCC compatibility is a detailed model locomotive designed to bring authentic SD40-2 power to the layout. This USMC fantasy variant is part of a lineup that includes eight prototypical paint schemes and two military fantasy options, offering a bold, eye-catching addition for railroad fans and diorama builders alike.

Powered by Paragon4 Sound and Control featuring Rolling Thunder, the model uses a dual-mode decoder with Back EMF for smooth slow-speed operation on both DC and DCC layouts. It features all-wheel electrical pickup, an ABS body with a die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort, and finely applied details such as handrails, grab irons, horns, and lights. Prototypical sounds and lighting accompany the accurate paintwork, and MicroTrains-compatible couplers are included. It operates on Code 55, Code 70, and Code 80 rails and has a 9-inch minimum operating radius, making it a versatile and reliable choice for realistic freight service on a wide range of layouts.
