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 Southern Railway 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 Southern Railway green paint scheme with high hood and gold lettering, equipped as a Locotrol remote-control master unit.
