We just received a Burlington Northern SD40 from Lionel, and this Built-to-Order diesel looks terrific!
The SD40-series of locomotives is a stand-out star of second generation diesel power. More than 1,200 of the 3,000 HP locomotives were built for 30 North American and foreign railroads between 1966 and 1972. While there are SD40s and variants still in service, several have already been selected for preservation.
The Lionel SD40 offers road name specific detailing for short hood, grab irons, battery boxes, dynamic brakes, radiator, pilot, fuel tank, fans. Trucks, horn, hand brakes, bell, and more.
The model is powered by two can-style motors and features the Lionel Legacy command and sound system.
Road names include Burlington Northern, Chessie System (B&O), Clinchfield, Conrail, Conrail (Savings Bonds), Grand Trunk Western, Missouri Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Southern Pacific (Daylight) and seven are available with different cab numbers.
Look for video of this in action on Bob's Train Box 62 (Post York Edition) or check it out at your local Lionel retailer.
