The SD40-2 was the most successful unit in EMD's Dash 2 lineup — over 4,000 built between 1972 and 1989 — and NS rostered them across freight service for decades. With dual-mode DC\/DCC operation and 16-bit polyphonic sound, this is a layout-ready locomotive that runs on any system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLooking for more N Scale locomotives?
