Athearn Genesis GP40-2 Locomotive 6129
Prototype Details
The official description provided by the manufacturer.
PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION By the early 1970s, many first generation diesels were reaching the end of their service lives. 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. $219.99 w/o SOUND | $309.99 w/ SOUND $229.99 w/o SOUND | $319.99 w/ SOUND PRIMED FOR GRIME A T H E A R N VISIT Your Local Retailer CLICK Athearn.com CALL 1.800.338.4639 These items are subject to Horizon's MAP policy
