The Athearn ATHG75625 G2.0 SD60M Tri-Clops is an outstanding HO scale locomotive model. It's the Ex-BN CBFX # 6028, equipped with DCC and sound features. CBFX features include unique patches and paint for each road number, a small EMD plow with a faded paint effect, front deck mounted ditch lights, and a cab door with a window. After BNSF sold some of their old SD60M fleet, the CIT group bought a small batch as leased power, which can be seen on various railroads. Road number #6028 has white reporting marks on the cab, a large CIT logo on the body, a painted-out BN nose logo, and yellow frame stripes. The SD60M “Tri-Clops” series locomotive is fully - assembled and ready - to - run. It has DCC - ready features with Quick Plug™ plug - and - play technology and a 21 - pin NEM connector. It's scaled accurately from prototype resources, with precisely painted and printed paint schemes. It also comes with a host of detailed features like coupler cut levers, flexible rubber hoses, see - through cab windows, and a full cab interior. The Genesis 2.0 features bring new advancements such as etched, see - through walkway steps, illuminated number boards, and more. Sound - equipped models have dual cube speakers and a Tsunami2 sound decoder, working in both DC and DCC modes. The prototype was first introduced in 1984, and the SD60M with the “Tri - Clops” cab came later, ordered by several major railroads.
