As a prototype, the SD40-2 was the most popular second-generation diesel with sales of over 3000 in the U.S. and more than 700 in Canada. There were many variations of this popular diesel because of the long production run – “Mid” versions had large anti-climbers (the front porch area of the locomotive) and deck mounted ditch lights necessary for meeting modern FRA standards . The BN amassed a fleet of 827 SD40-2's between 1972 and 1980, starting out hauling coal trains out of Wyoming's Powder River Basin and then started moving transcontinental freight between the West Coast and the Midwest.   Model Features:
  • Powerful Kato mechanism powered by a 5-pole flywheel motor and featuring a 9 3/4" minimum turning radius.
  • Directional headlights, ditch lights and pre-installed, pre-printed illuminated numberboards.
  • Shock absorber construction with a floating truck mechanism for enhanced performance and improved electrical pickup on uneven track.
  • DCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation.
