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\u003eQGRY FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst time in Genesis for QGRY scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNathan K3L horn with air line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad number fonts, plows, horns, Antennas, and other details per road number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChemins de fer Québec-Gatineau Inc. (CFQG), in English- the Quebec Gatineau Railway, operates the former CP line between Quebec City and Gatineau, in Quebec. The line was acquired by Genesee and Wyoming in 1997. At one time the railroad had operated three GMD GP40-2L locomotives of CN heritage, although one of them suffered a wreck in 2005 and has since been used as a parts source for the other units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#3014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Weed Cutter” rear plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#3016\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard EMD medium rear plow\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","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40932406820899,"sku":"ATHG64943","price":569.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/athearn-genesis-ho-scale-gp40-2l-w-dcc-sound-guilford-mec-510-1191444906.jpg?v=1757049594","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-scale-gp40-2l-w-dcc-sound-guilford-mec-510","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
