Description

Railroad Short Name: IHB

By the early 1970s, many first generation diesels were reaching the end of their service lives. One of the most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engine in 1972. These locomotives were developed for service where higher horsepower and faster service were preferable. A major feature for the GP40-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP40-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, and helper service. Many remain in service today.

The IHB acquired a few ex-CN GP40-2L’s for local and road service in 2020. While the IHB modified the steps on the walkway sill, our model is a close representation and allows the modeler a great starting point for further modeling or to simply operate as is in this sharp scheme.
