One of the most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engines 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDTI FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast DT\u0026amp;I scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose-mounted bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXenon beacon (effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM3 horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra nose grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirecracker antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-dynamic brake hatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra jacking pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLlit class lights and number boards (effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDT\u0026amp;I’s last locomotive order was for GP40-2’s #422-425 in late 1979. Painted in their new bright “star” logo, they were built for high-speed TOFC service. Notable DT\u0026amp;I options included: Xenon beacon, nose mounted bell, and non-dynamic brake hatch. GP40-2 #407 was part of the original order from 1972. After being repaired from a wreck in 1979, it was repainted into the new “star” scheme and put back into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#407\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepainted after wreck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003echickenwire grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esmall EMD plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eorange bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esmall front anticlimber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#422\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast DT\u0026amp;I locomotive order; corrugated grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enewly tooled xenon beacon with bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elarge EMD plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esilver bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elarge front anticlimber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#424\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast DT\u0026amp;I locomotive order; corrugated grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enewly tooled xenon beacon with bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elarge EMD plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esilver bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elarge front anticlimber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGP40-2 LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Nub” style walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit class lights, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, and breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlomberg-B or Blomberg-M trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows and full cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal fan grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRIMED FOR GRIME MODELS FEATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuplicated look and feel of “In Service” equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaded base colors matched to the prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect starting point for adding grime and rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLEGENDARY LIVERIES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat are Legendary Liveries?
