The Athearn ATHG75620 G2.0 SD60M Tri-Clops locomotive in HO scale is a gem for model train enthusiasts. This Union Pacific #2404 model comes with DCC and sound features. UP locomotives in this series have popular 'North Little Rock' style plows, pilot-mounted front ditch lights, and correct horns and antennas. In the mid-2000s, many of UP's SD60Ms needed overhauls. We offer three different UP paint schemes with unique details. Road number #2404 was formerly Ex-UP 6246, has a 'Lightning Stripe' w/nose wings repaint, and specific antennas. The SD60M 'Tri-Clops' series locomotive is fully assembled and ready to run. It features Quick Plug™ technology, accurate paint schemes, and a Genesis driveline. The Genesis 2.0 version has etched walkway steps, illuminated number boards, and more. Sound-equipped models have dual cube speakers and a Tsunami2 sound decoder. The prototype SD60M was introduced in 1989 with a wide nose 'Tri-Clops' cab. This model is perfect for your model train collection.

Using your Athearn HO scale SD60M Tri-Clops locomotive is easy. First, make sure your track is clean and properly connected. Place the locomotive on the track and power it up. If you're using DCC, you can control various functions like speed, lights, and sound using a compatible DCC controller. In DC mode, you can still enjoy basic engine, horn, and bell sounds. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it has delicate parts like the fine-scale handrails and antennas. Store the locomotive in its original packaging to protect it from dust and damage. Regularly clean the wheels with a soft cloth to ensure smooth operation. Check the couplers to make sure they are working properly. If you encounter any issues, the warranty service is available to help you out. Remember, the minimum recommended track radius is 18 inches, but a 22-inch radius is better for smooth running.
