Looking for a high-horsepower, ultra-detailed six-axle unit lettered for a specific road number? ScaleTrains' EMD SD40-2 in their premium Rivet Counter line, in Burlington Northern paint, is exactly that kind of centerpiece.
Introduced by EMD in 1972 and built in more than 4,000 examples through the mid-1980s, the SD40-2 became one of the most common and versatile diesel locomotives in North America. Powered by a 3,000 hp turbocharged 16-645E3 prime mover on a six-axle (C-C) frame, it handled freight service on most major North American railroads for decades, and many units remain in active service today. This version reproduces the late-era Burlington Northern paint scheme with blanked-out class lights.
