One of the most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engine in 1972. These locomotives were developed for service where higher horsepower and faster service were preferable. A major feature for the GP40-2 was the introduction of the  “dash 2 ” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP40-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, and helper service. Many remain in service today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003cbr\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003cbr\u003e “Nub ” style walkway tread\u003cbr\u003eLift rings\u003cbr\u003eWalkway tread\u003cbr\u003eWindshield wipers\u003cbr\u003eLit number boards\u003cbr\u003eLit class lights, if equipped\u003cbr\u003eLit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003cbr\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003cbr\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, and breather pipes\u003cbr\u003eBlomberg-B or Blomberg-M trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003cbr\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003cbr\u003eSee-through cab windows and full cab interior\u003cbr\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003cbr\u003eEtched metal fan grilles\u003cbr\u003eAir tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003cbr\u003eBody-mounted McHenry ® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee ® compatible\u003cbr\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003cbr\u003eMU stands\u003cbr\u003eWire grab irons\u003cbr\u003eSanding lines\u003cbr\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug ™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003cbr\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003cbr\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003cbr\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003cbr\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003cbr\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003cbr\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003cbr\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003cbr\u003eMinimum radius: 18 ”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003cbr\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003cbr\u003eDual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003cbr\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003cbr\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003cbr\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003cbr\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003cbr\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003cbr\u003eCV chart included in the box","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42187367809106,"sku":"ATH-G1757-PRE","price":30.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/ATHG-1757_A0_WQR5SH6J.jpg?v=1784736301","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-genesis-ho-g1757-gp40-2-locomotive-baltimore-ohio-gm50-dcc-sound-equipped-301-49","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
