The EMD SD40 is an American 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors. Between 1966 and 1972, GM built 1268 of these locomotives before introducing the new SD40-2. The SD40s operated throughout the US and Canada for decades. Broadway Limited Imports is proud to announce our first production of these diesel models in 2023. Our first run will include models of ten different railroads with prototypically accurate road numbers, paint schemes, and road-specific details and lighting.List of individually controllable lights in our EMD SD40 models (note that light options may be limited in Stealth Series models):HeadlightRear LightMars Light (SP only)Numberboard Lights (Front & Rear)Front Classification LightsRear Classification LightsEmergency Light (SP only)Rotary Beacon (where appropriate)Ditch Lights (where appropriate)Cab LightRoad-specific detail options that are prototypically accurate for each road name:Truck sideframesDynamic brake hatchOpen & closed type fansShort hood detail arrangementLong hood end detail arrangementCab headlight arrangementCanadian type step wells on CN and CPHigh short hood option where accurateHorn type and locationBell locationMultiple front pilot typesMultiple rear pilot typesBrake wheelFuel tank designAccurate cut lever typesMU receptacle arrangementMultiple sunshade optionsAntenna type and locationWind deflector typeRotary beacon type and locationIndustry-leading Model Features:Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional.
