The GP40-2L is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive, renowned for its power and versatility. This HO scale model captures the essence of the original GP40-2 with meticulous detail. The body is painted in the distinctive Canadian National livery, complete with the iconic red and white stripes, and the Canadian National logo prominently displayed.

The model features Athearn's Genesis drive system, which provides smooth and realistic operation. The Tsunami Sound system, integrated into the model, adds an extra layer of realism. You'll hear the engine roar as it accelerates, the whistle blow when it approaches a crossing, and the sounds of the train as it moves over different track surfaces.

The GP40-2L is equipped with a dual-mode DC/DCC compatible decoder. This allows for easy operation, whether you're using a traditional DC power pack or a modern DCC system. The model also features directional lighting and authentic operating couplers, ensuring a seamless integration into your HO scale layout.

In summary, the GP40-2L HO Scale Model Train by Athearn is a must-have for any model railroad enthusiast. Its detailed and accurate representation of the GP40-2 locomotive, combined with the Tsunami Sound system and Genesis drive system, makes it a standout addition to any HO scale layout.

Details:

The cn ordered their gp40 2s with comfort cabs, which featured the now common wide nose, designed by cn in cooperation with the locomotive builders. These cabs included increased collision protection along with crew amenities such as refrigerators, hot plates and even coffee pots.

And, from a day to day operational standpoint, the gp40 2 featured vastly improved adhesion and wheel slip control.

However, it was not without its problems, some stemming from the high horsepower these engines produced.

As a testament to the gp40 2 durability as well as signifying problems with the later 50 series diesels, gp40 2 production continued even after edm began selling what was slated to be their replacement.

Buyers pays for shipping charge of I bought this model in 2013 and it has not been removed from the box except for the photos for this offer. Cn initial orders were designated as gp40 2l by edm, and these diesels were constructed with a more lightweight frame hence the l in the model designation, which resulted in a side sill walkway that sat slightly higher than the side sill walkway on a gp40 2.

Canad ago transit purchased gp40 2 equipped for passenger service. USA buyers only please.

The gp40 2 family eventually sold 1139 units. These made the gp40 2 less slippery on the rails, and the edm sales force wasted no time trumpeting these features. As these safer cabs were adopted by more railroads over the years, eventually becoming standard from both edm and ge, the name evolved into north American cab. Internally, the gp40 2 was a whole new locomotive, incorporating 40 or so component changes and redesigns.

With 1,264 gp40s constructed, it was a popular model. Being an unofficial designation, the w is set off in parenthesis.

Many railroads opted to use older Bloomsburg b side frames from units they were trading in, however.
