Kato N 176-8210-LS-DMW with DCC/ESU LokSound V5 EMD SD40-2 Locomotive 'Mid-Production' Santa Fe ATSF #5088
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, with ‘Early Production’ units representing a pre-1990 appearance and ‘Mid Production’ units depicting later runs of locomotives.
Model Information:
Mid Production EMD SD40-2 locomotives mirror a post-1990 locomotive, with deck mounted ditch lights so the modeler can use them with their modern freight rolling stock and in combination with other modern locos. Mid Production road names come with prototype accurate detailing with regards to horn and air conditioner placement as well, with Santa Fe and ex-Santa Fe, respectively, units having their airhorns mounted towards the rear and additional antenna and air conditioning units over the cab.
FULLY LOADED by Duford Model Works exclusively for Lombard Hobbies:

**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.
