Broadway Limited Imports N 9464 EMD SD40-2 Locomotive Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC Canadian Pacific 'Golden Beaver Scheme' CP #6606

Launched by EMD in January 1972, the SD40-2 has earned its place as one of the most iconic diesel locomotives in history! With nearly 4,000 units produced between 1972 and 1989, this powerhouse delivers an impressive 3,000 horsepower and outshines many higher-horsepower models in reliability. The SD40-2 set the gold standard for the rail industry for decades!

Sharing a robust frame with the SD38-2 and SD45-2, the SD40-2 features an extended design to accommodate the innovative HT-C trucks, which are 1.5 feet longer than the Flexicoil trucks found on the SD40. This extension, along with similarly sized long hoods, gives the SD40-2 its signature "porches" at either end—perfect for spotting enthusiasts! You can easily identify it by its three roof-mounted radiator fans and a distinctive single large exhaust stack.

**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.
