Soo Line SD 60 with DCC and sound

Hello, Does anyone know if there is any model railroad company out there that makes a SD 60 with the Soo Line red and white paint that has DCC and sound? Railcon44

Athearn has made them in the past.

You might be able to find one or 2 out there.  They might not have decoders but it should be easy enough to add them.  If you find an old dead one you might be able to put the shell on a current run unit with sound.

 Do not buy the Athearn unit with sound.

Buy a Proto or Athearn SD60 then install a Soundtraxx Tsunami AT-1000 EMD 710 with a 16x35mm speaker/baffle.  You will be much happier in the end.
