Description
This is an Athearn 16715 HO Missouri Pacific SD40-2 Diesel Loco w/DCC & Sound RTR 6015. In the mid 1970s, the Missouri Pacific owned many examples of EMD SD40-2 locomotives- but their next order was to be a bit different. MoPac needed locomotives that would be compatible with BN, UP, & CNW units on Powder River Basin coal trains. Unlike prior units, these SD40-2’s were equipped with nose mounted oscillating headlights and dynamic brakes, and were referred to as SD40-2c- denoting their intended service as coal haulers. Later on, they were mixed freely with other MP power as well as being used in pool service. All road numbers. 81 nose, corrugated grills, small anticlimber. Windshield wipers. Hood side mounted bell.
