First built for Union Pacific in the late 1980's by General Electric, the DASH 8-40C diesel locomotives were identified by an enlarged exhaust stack and the mounting of the dynamic brake grids in a square-like unit behind the cab, which housed an enlarged equipment blower fan. These six-axle, 4,000 hp engines are still in service today in North America.
 
Models feature realistic die cast underframe, 5-pole skewed-armature motor with dual flywheels, directional lighting, fine detailing and Accumate(R) Proto-couplers.
