The SD40 had 3,000 hp from a turbocharged V16. 856 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads, 330 were built for Canadian railroads, and 72 were built for Mexican railroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance these SD40’s look like run-of-the-mill Chicago, Burlington \u0026amp; Quincy locomotives. But they were members of the Colorado \u0026amp; Southern Railway’s locomotive fleet. The tiny C\u0026amp;S letters just in front of the road numbers on the battery boxes are the only outward sign of different ownership. Long a subsidiary of parent CB\u0026amp;Q, in October 1967 C\u0026amp;S took delivery of their first 4 SD40’s, #’s 875-878 and added 9 more in April 1968, #’s 879-887, for a total of 13 units. The C\u0026amp;S became part of the Burlington Northern system in in March 1970. It maintained its subsidiary status until the end of 1981 when it was formally absorbed into the BN system. Many of these SD40’s retained the CB\u0026amp;Q red and white paint scheme into the early to-mid 1970’s and they kept their 3-digit numbers until C\u0026amp;S became part of the BN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken wire radiator grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU Hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear pilot mounted handbrake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-directional LED lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler Cut Levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved radiator fan grab iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine scale handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched stainless steel windshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied wire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through dynamic brake, radiator fans and cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame mounted bell (unless noted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed 4,000 gallon fuel tank (unless different capacity is noted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexicoil-C trucks with high or low brake cylinders (per prototype)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied air tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved 5-pole skew wound can motor with flywheels and multi-link drivetrain for trouble-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-sound version features 21-pin NEM DCC plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed, injection molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted and printed for realistic decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindow packaging for easy viewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior plastic blister safely holds the model for convenient storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18” — Recommended radius: 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly designed can motor is more powerful and quieter than before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC \u0026amp; sound models feature Tsunami2 sound with dual cube speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED lighting for long life and reliable operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard Tsunami2 DCC\/Sound decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome functions are limited in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating lighting functions with F5 and\/or F6 (Flashing ditch lights, beacon, etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent low-speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lash up with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC: Equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND: Tsunami2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePROTOTYPE MANUFACTURER: EMD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxles: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIGHTED: LED Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Age Recommendation: 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs Assembly Required: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132912402645,"sku":"ATH87334","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-87334-ho-scale-rtr-emd-sd40-burlington-cb-q-c-s-878-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1653933227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-87334-ho-scale-rtr-emd-sd40-burlington-cb-q-c-s-878-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
