HO EMD Model 40 Locomotive BWCX #1 (ATH28748)

HO Scale EMD Model 40 Locomotive, BWCX No. 1, is a ready-to-run diesel-electric switcher designed for industrial layouts, such as steel mills and yard trackage. Replicating the compact two-axle Model 40 used in early 1940s industry, this locomotive provides authentic shunting power and a distinctive profile for any layout.

Built with a highly detailed injection-molded body, the model features separately-applied horn, exhaust stacks, and bell, see-through cab windows, and Celcon handrails for a true-to-scale look. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, with Quick Plug plug-and-play DCC readiness, LED lighting with bi-directional operation, and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The drivetrain is an all-wheel setup with precision gears and a heavy die-cast frame for smooth, quiet pulling power, plus all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable current. Wheels with RP25 contours work across multiple HO track codes, and the minimum radius is 15 inches. The Model 40 was produced from 1940 through 1943 as a small, diesel-electric switcher, with 11 built to serve defense plants, military branches, and GM's Cleveland Diesel Division.
