Reliability and versatility of the 3,000-horsepower SD40-2 made it the best-selling model in EMD’s history and the standard of the industry for several decades after its introduction. The SD40-2 was an improvement over the SD40, with modular electronic control systems similar to those of the experimental SD45X and DDA40X. The last SD40-2 delivered to a United States railroad was built in July 1984, with production continuing for railroads in Canada until 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"featureListDiv\" class=\"wrapDiv\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"featureList\"\u003eSD40-2 LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"featureListDiv\" class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-12 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber MU hoses for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber trainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through dynamic brake and radiator fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame mounted bell (unless noted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp; breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied air tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etch stainless steel windshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Illuminated front and rear headlights, ditch lights, and beacons (where applicable to the prototype)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready Non-sound version features 21-pin NEM DCC plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers\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\u003e5-pole motor with precision-machined flywheels and multi-link drive train for trouble free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-directional LED 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\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\u003ePackaging securely holds model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18” Recommended radius 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"featureListDiv\" class=\"wrapDiv\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"featureList\"\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"featureListDiv\" class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-12 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle cube speaker for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome functions are limited in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffect lighting (if applicable) using F5 and\/or F6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent low-speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52030640587031,"sku":"ATH-1249","price":298.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/ATH-1249.jpg?v=1772672936","url":"https:\/\/reeds-hobbies.com\/products\/ath-1249","provider":"Reed's Hobby Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
