As a prototype, the SD40-2 was the most popular second-generation diesel with sales of over 3000 in the U.S. and more than 700 in Canada. There were many variations of this popular diesel because of the long production run – “Mid” versions had large anti-climbers (the front porch area of the locomotive) and deck mounted ditch lights necessary for meeting modern FRA standards. Sometimes nicknamed “death stars” because of the resemblance of the circular IC logo to a certain movie installation, the Illinois Central rebuilt a number of former BN SD40-2’s into “dash 3’s”, which while not an official designation identifies these units as upgraded units.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel Features:\u003cbr\u003ePowerful Kato mechanism powered by a 5-pole flywheel motor and featuring a 9 3\/4'' minimum turning radius\u003cbr\u003eDirectional headlights, ditch lights and pre-installed, pre-printed illuminated numberboards\u003cbr\u003eShock absorber construction with a floating truck mechanism for enhanced performance and improved electrical pickup on uneven track\u003cbr\u003eDCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
