First built for Union Pacific in the late 1980’s by General Electric, the DASH 8-40C diesel locomotives were identified by an enlarged exhaust stack and the
mounting of the dynamic brake grids in a square-like unit behind the cab. These six-axle, 4,000 hp engines are still in service today in North America. The
4,000hp Dash 8-40CW was produced by General Electric between 1989 and 1993 as a follow-up to the Dash 8-40C. Most of these units are still in regular
mainline and heavy-haul freight service today. Due to various mergers, they can also be seen operating for new owners Norfolk Southern and BNSF. These
prototypically accurate, fun-to-run models are now available with and without ESU Loksound at your local hobby shop!
