The GP40-2 was
EMD’s follow-up to the very
successful GP40 locomotive model. While
many internal upgrades were introduced
(such as the use of improved, modular Dash
2 electrical components), there were some
external differences between the early
production GP40-2 and late-production
GP40. This included an engine water-level
sight glass on the right side of the body
(a feature common to all EMD Dash 2
models), a larger electrical cabinet air
filter box, a lengthened battery
compartment on the left side, and a
slightly modified cab. •Golden-white

easy-to-use basic DCC system •Also note that
on a DC-powered layout, a DCC and sound
equipped locomotive (such as the Atlas
Gold Series GP40-2) CANNOT be consisted
with another locomotive that does
not also have both DCC

to DCC-equipped locomotives operating on a
DCC layout.) Sound

GP40-2 Locomotives
All GP40-2s featured a 16-cylinder EMD

from mid-1976 through late-1979. Several
major spotting features of Phase 2 units
include: an 88” low nose, corrugated
radiator grilles and notched step
