The GP40 was considered the top of EMD's four-axle line when first offered in the 1960s. It was visually distinguished from earlier GPs by three radiator fans along its long hood. Bachmann's new N scale Sound Value model is SoundTraxx Econami equipped.

Econami includes adjustable auto-notching sensitivity for prototypical operation, adjustable master volume and individual sound effect volume levels, advanced consisting, and more.
