Review INTERMOUNTAIN Ho Kansas City Southern Kcs 656 Dcc

The InterMountain Railroad Company's HO Scale model of the Kansas Southern Railway (KS) SD40-2 locomotive, specifically numbered 656, is an intricately detailed and authentic representation of this iconic road freight locomotive.Created through a collaborative effort between InterMountain and Ho Scale Model railway company Horizon Hobby, this model boasts a wide array of features that make it a must-have for railroad enthusiasts and modelers.

Dressed in KS split-window colors a black base with red and white lightning bolt striping the body comes equipped with photo-etched and chromed stovepipe stacks, realistic crew cab sunshades, opening doors and hatches, and hand-painted piping and lettering. The incorrectly positioned EMD numbering on the long hood sides, which is a characteristic of the prototype's SD40 series, adds an extra layer of historical accuracy.

Powering this detail-rich locomotive is a five-pole skew-wound InterMountain motor, which delivers both smooth performance and excellent pulling power. The locomotive features an E-8 Micro-Train controlled40-2 Truck with 50-ton, quasi-realistic scale trucks and knuckle couplers, allowing easy integration with other trains.

The attention to detail is evident even on the underside of the model, with battery box grilles, air hoses and piping, and fuel tank details all reproduced with precision. Adding to the realism are separately applied brake lines and plumbing on the undercarriage.

The cab windows can be opened for enhanced viewing pleasure, offering a glimpse into the intimate space where the motorman and conductor worked before the advent of modern technology.
