The Bicentennial, Burlington Northern style: BN EMD SD40-2 #1876, by ScaleTrains' Rivet Counter line, wears the red, white and blue scheme of the 1976 American Bicentennial as it ran from 1975 to 1979.
What sets this model apart is Rivet Counter's signature prototype fidelity. Introduced in January 1972, the SD40-2 is one of EMD's most successful locomotives: over 3,900 units built through July 1984, a modular solid-state electrical system far more reliable than the old relays, the 3,000 hp 16-645E3 engine and HT-C three-axle trucks for superior adhesion. No. 1876, ex-BN 6325 of the 6325-6339 series built in February 1972, was renumbered and repainted for the Bicentennial before returning to Cascade Green.
This DCC and sound version comes with a factory-installed ESU LokSound 5 decoder with Full Throttle and turbocharged 16-645E3 sounds, and all the prototype-specific detailing the Rivet Counter line is known for.
