Description
The GMD SD40-2W was Canadian National's wide-cab version of EMD's best-selling SD40-2, built by General Motors Diesel in London, Ontario. The "W" denotes the wide "Canadian comfort cab" that went on to become a North American standard. CN rostered a large fleet of these 3,000 hp units that have worked system-wide from the 1970s to today.
Bowser's HO Executive Line SD40-2W returns with a new round of CN units, now with expanded lighting: operating headlight, class lights, stepwell lights, walkway lights and a track inspection light. This release models CN class GF-30T with dynamic brakes, T-shaped winterization hatch, chicken-wire grills, standard cooling fans and a non-silenced exhaust stack. This DCC with Sound version carries an ESU LokSound V5 decoder for authentic 645-series sound right out of the box.
This unit: Canadian National Sergeant Stripes #5345, class GF-30T. As delivered — no snow shields, horn mounted over the bell.
