The Maine Central was acquired first, followed by the B\u0026amp;M and the D\u0026amp;H. The Guilford roster was a veritable rolling museum, featuring such oddities as ex-MEC U18Bs, former ATSF SD26s, and former NW \/ ITC SD39s. Some of the more reliable units on the roster were a group of former CN GP40-2Ls, numbered in the 500 series and acquired in the early 2000s. Since then, the Guilford name has ceased to exist, being replaced in 2006 by Pan Am Railways, and most recently, CSX- yet some of the Guilford-painted GP40-2Ls continue on in service, wearing their 20+ year old paint jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGP40-2 LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Nub” style walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit class lights, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, and breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlomberg-B or Blomberg-M trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows and full cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal fan grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1970s, many first generation diesels were reaching the end of their service lives. One of the most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engines in 1972. These locomotives were developed for service where higher horsepower and faster service were preferable. A major feature for the GP40-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP40-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, and helper service. Many remain in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container len-0.0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bg-transparent text-left collapsible-xl specifications-wrapper product-specifications mb-3 active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"title text-left fs-24 fs-md-22 lh-28\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col column-count-desktop fs-12 lh-20 fs-md-14 px-2 mt-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eAxles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003e4\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eDCC\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003eEquipped\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eEra\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003e1991-2009, 2010-Present Day\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eLighting\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003eLED\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003ePrototype Manufacturer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003eEMD\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eReporting Mark\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003eMEC\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eScale\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003eHO\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eSound\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003eTsunami2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eSub Brand\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6\"\u003eGENESIS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44023034183768,"sku":null,"price":354.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/9426\/0056\/files\/ATHG64945_A0_TST8JA49.jpg?v=1776971183","url":"https:\/\/bayshorehobbiesandtoys.com\/products\/athearn-guilfordngp40-2l-518-athg64945-w-sound-tsunami2-led","provider":"Bay Shore Hobbies \u0026 Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
