PROTOTYPE INFORMATION:
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.
All GP40-2s featured a 16-cylinder EMD 645-series diesel engine which was rated at 3,000 horsepower. Early to mid-production phase 2 GP40-2s
were built 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 wells.

• Hood and frame bells included
• 3,600 and 2,600 Gallon fuel tanks included
• Trucks: Blomberg Type-M only
• The handrails will NOT be attached to the frame and will be packed separately
DCC Operation FEATURES:
• Supports all DCC-programming modes • Flexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28.
• A total of six DCC function outputs are available
• Follows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices.
Analog (DC) Operation FEATURES:
• The LokSound Select Dual-Mode decoder allows your Atlas Gold Series locomotive to be used on DC
as well as on DCC layouts.
• Please note that the Atlas Quantum Engineer will NOT operate an Atlas Gold Series locomotive
equipped with a LokSound Select decoder on an analog (DC) layout. However, the sound and lighting
functions of the LokSound Select decoder in the Atlas Gold Series locomotive can be controlled by an
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 and
sound. (This statement does NOT apply to DCC-equipped locomotives operating on a DCC layout.)
Sound Functionality FEATURES:
• Over 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds
through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more.
• There are 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake
squeals.
• Manual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes ”on the fly” are provided
for true realism.
