Broadway Limited 6781 HO Scale CNW EMD SD40-2 Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC #6867. 6781 EMD SD40-2, CNW 6867, Green & Yellow, Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC, HO Introduced by EMD in January 1972, the SD40-2 is one of the most popular diesel locomotives of all time. These 3,000 horsepower machines were found to be more reliable than higher-horsepower locomotives, and the SD40-2 quickly became the standard of the industry for several decades.

The SD40-2 shares a common frame with the SD38-2 and the SD45-2. The frame was lengthened to accommodate the new HT-C trucks, which were 1.5 feet longer than the Flexicoil truck found on the SD40's. With a longer frame, but similar sized long hoods, the SD40-2's have distinctive "porches" on either end - these empty areas are good spotting features for SD38-2 and SD40-2 locomotives.

The SD40-2 can be further distinguished from the SD38-2 by its three roof-mounted radiator fans and a single large exhaust stack. There are several variations of SD40-2 in service. In our 2021 production, we are modeling the original standard SD40-2. We are offering 11 distinct paint schemes and one unpainted model.
