Looking for a classic turbocharged four-axle unit, highly detailed and faithful to a specific prototype? The ScaleTrains EMD GP40 Phase IIa3, in its premium Rivet Counter line, in Burlington Northern colors, is exactly that kind of standout piece.
Introduced by EMD in 1965, the GP40 is a turbocharged 3,000 hp four-axle unit, a contemporary of the GP38 but more powerful. Built in over 1,200 examples, it served on countless North American railroads, from fast freight to commuter work. This version recreates BN 3020-3039 units (ex-CB&Q 620-639, built 1968).
