GP40 Diesels
| The
N scale locomotive is modeled after Electro Motive Division's 2000 horsepower
GP-38 diesel introduced in the late 1960's and early 1970's and is still in service
today throughout North America. The GP-40 was the 3000 horsepower successor to
the GP-38, best characterized by the three full size radiator fans on the rear
of the roof. The GP40-2 had mostly internal changes but several outside details
such as bolted down battery box covers and a roof that extended slightly beyond
the rear of the cab differed it visually from the GP-40. | |
| Prototype
Information | | Similar
in appearance to the GP35 with a couple of exceptions. Two small exhaust stacks
instead of the larger stack of the 35 and two radiator fans instead of the three
on the 35. -
