Looking for a classic turbocharged four-axle unit, highly detailed and faithful to a specific prototype? The ScaleTrains EMD GP40 Phase III, in its premium Rivet Counter line, in Chessie System / B&O 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 Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) GP40s under the Chessie System banner.
