Atlas Announces EMD GP40-2 Locomotives - Both Silver (DCC Ready) & Gold (w/DCC & Sound)
Atlas HO GP40-2 Locomotive
New Paint Schemes!
All GP40-2s featured a 16-cylinder EMD 645-series diesel engine which was rated at 3,000 horsepower. The early or “phase 1” GP40-2 was produced from mid-1972 through mid-1975. Most phase 1 units included features which were standard for EMD at the time: an 81” low nose and wire mesh radiator grilles. The first units built went to Rio Grande, but by far the largest purchaser was Chessie System with 147 units delivered during this period.
