Description
HO GP40-2 Locomotive in Florida East Coast livery (414) is an authentic HO-scale model of EMD’s GP40-2, built for model railroaders seeking period-correct freight power. This road-name specific model captures the look and presence of a 1970s-era diesel, ready to haul freight on modern or vintage layouts.
Under the hood, the GP40-2 features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation and strong pulling power. It uses all-wheel drive, RP25 wheel contours, and LED lighting for realistic day and night effects, with a heavy die-cast frame adding traction. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM and body-mounted scale knuckles that are Kadee-compatible, plus see-through cab windows and a detailed interior. Road-number-specific details for 414 include an early-phase body with chickenwire grilles, Blomberg M trucks, a non-dynamic nose, and a rounded blower housing, delivering an accurate silhouette for prototypical operation. Some versions offer onboard Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers and full DCC functionality, for those who want added realism.
