The HO SD40-2 Diesel Locomotive is a striking model that represents one of EMD's best-selling locomotives, with nearly 4,000 units delivered to over 30 railroads from 1972 to 1989. Despite the majority remaining operational across North America, this model captures the essence of the Milwaukee Road #156, featuring realistic and prototypical details. The locomotive is designed for various mainline and industrial roles and is powered by a robust 3,000HP EMD 16-645-E3 Prime mover.

This Bachmann model is ready for operation, equipped with Soundtraxx Sound Value DCC, which allows for digital control of sounds, speed, lighting, and direction. It includes all-wheel drive capabilities and is fitted with dual, precision-balanced flywheels, ensuring smooth performance. Noteworthy features include safety-driven fine-scale handrails and RP25 wheel contours, making it adept for both mainline routes and intricate industrial setups.
