HO-scale GP40-2 diesel locomotive in CSX Boxcar Logo livery, a faithful representation of a classic 1970s freight powerhouse. This detailed HO model is designed for realistic operation on standard layouts, ideal for mainline runs, yard work, and display on a busy railroad scene.

Built on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline and a 5-pole skew-wound motor, it delivers smooth, quiet pulling power and reliable current collection. Features include RP25 wheels for broad track compatibility, LED lighting, a see-through cab with a detailed interior, and fine-scale Celcon handrails with etched fan grilles for authentic detail. Body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) ensure realistic coupling with other HO rolling stock. The model is DCC-ready via Quick Plug 21-pin NEM, and sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual speakers, and full DCC functionality with CVs to tailor engine, horn, and bell behavior. Road-number-specific details reproduce CSX variations such as lit number boards and cab/hood features, while the grime-ready finish offers a natural starting point for weathering. The minimum curve radius is 18 inches, allowing smooth operation on most HO layouts.
