HO Dash8-40CM Locomotive with DCC and Sound (RPI24514)

HO Dash-8-40CM locomotive with DCC and sound is a detailed HO-scale model that faithfully reproduces the Dash-8-40CM (also known as the C40-8M) for North American layouts. It features roadname-specific detailing for CN and BC Rail (BCOL) schemes, including authentic bell placement, varied headlight configurations, and operating ditch lights, along with extensive underbody detail and other nuanced features that enhance realism. The model is available in either DC-only (DCC Ready) form or DC/DCC/Sound (ESU LokSound), with CN and BCOL variants to match the chosen livery.

Built on a heavy die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels, it delivers smooth pulling power and reliable operation. It includes etched metal see-through steps, separately fitted grab irons, a newly tooled cab interior, and refined fuel tank and trucks. Roadname-specific options include CN split cooling radiators and a full lighting package—operating headlights, rear lights, class lights, sidestep lights, and ditch lights—plus factory-installed couplers set to the correct height. The DCC/Sound version uses ESU LokSound with twin speakers to deliver authentic engine and horn sounds, while the DC-ready version is prepared for your chosen decoder setup.
