Atlas Master HO 10003485 Gold Series EMD GP40-2 Diesel DCC/ESU LokSound Conrail 'Quality' CR #3386

The GP40-2 was EMD’s follow-up to the very successful GP40 locomotive model. While many internal upgrades were introduced, such as the use of improved, modular Dash 2 electrical components, there were some external differences between the early production GP40-2 and late-production GP40. This included an engine water-level sight glass on the right side of the body, a feature common to all EMD Dash 2 models, a larger electrical cabinet air filter box, a lengthened battery compartment on the left side, and a slightly modified cab.

All GP40-2s featured a 16-cylinder EMD 645-series diesel engine which was rated at 3,000 horsepower. Early to mid-production phase 2 GP40-2s were built from mid-1976 through late-1979. Several major spotting features of Phase 2 units include: an 88” low nose, corrugated radiator grilles and notched step wells.

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
