Description
The EMD SD40 is an American 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors. Between 1966 and 1972, GM built 1268 of these locomotives before introducing the new SD40-2. The SD40s operated throughout the US and Canada for decades. Broadway Limited Imports is proud to announce our first production of these diesel models in 2023. Our first run will include models of ten different railroads with prototypically accurate road numbers, paint schemes, and road-specific details and lighting.

**For modelers intending to install a sound decoder, please note that most of our Stealth Series models will come with an 8 ohm speaker already installed and ready to use if desired. However, our SD40 models do not have this speaker installed.
