EMD SD40-2 BNSF 1680 DCC-Ready Diesel Locomotive (BLI9482)

An HO-scale EMD SD40-2 diesel locomotive in BNSF 1680 livery is a DCC-ready, no-sound model with a BN black/green/white patch, designed for realistic operation on model railroad layouts.

Powered by a dual-mode decoder with Back EMF for smooth DC and DCC performance, this model features an ABS body with a die-cast chassis for strong tractive effort and all-wheel electrical pickup. It carries prototypical paint schemes and road numbers, with many separately applied details such as handrails, grab irons, horns, bells, and antennas. MicroTrains-compatible couplers (two) are included, with a 5.4-inch coupler-to-coupler spacing, and it will operate on Code 55, Code 70, and Code 80 rails with a minimum operating radius of nine inches. Optional Paragon4 Sound and Control System adds authentic SD40-2 sounds and Rolling Thunder control for those seeking a fully featured experience.
