Class One Model Works LM00458 EMD GP40N 1A3 Rebuild Union Pacific UP 1487 DCC & Sound with Tru-Fans
The GP40N program is part of Union Pacific’s extensive rebuild initiative, transforming veteran GP40-2 locomotives into contemporary road power with upgraded electronics, improved reliability, and updated control systems. These rebuilds retained the proven 3,000-horsepower platform while incorporating refinements that have kept them active across the system in local, yard, and road service.
Factory-equipped with DCC and premium sound, it offers smooth throttle response, dynamic audio realism, and operational flexibility straight from the box. The addition of Tru-Fans elevates the roof detail to a higher standard, providing see-through, scale-accurate cooling fans that add depth and authenticity rarely found in ready-to-run power. With refined drive components for reliable slow-speed performance and sure-footed pulling power, this locomotive is equally at home leading a priority freight or handling local duties on a contemporary Union Pacific layout.
