Description
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 detailsâ€â€handrails, grab irons, horns, bells, wipers, and etched grillsâ€â€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.
