EMD SD40-2 Diesel Locomotive Conrail Premium Instructions
EMD SD40-2 Diesel Locomotive Conrail Premium Instructions
The Electro-Motive Division’s (EMD) SD40-2 has become a railroad icon. Even today, nearly 30 yearsafter the last SD40-2 rolled off of the assembly line, this locomotive can be seen working throughout North America. From Class 1 mainlines to local short line rail- roads, the EMD SD40-2 was so successful that they rival the first-generation, four-axle EMD GP7s and GP9s in terms of impact on the railroad industry.
Our model of this famous locomotive has been designed by new BMR Team Member, Chris Stone.
For this, our first Locomotive Premium Instructions, we are trying something new. For past freight and passen- ger car models we’ve covered multiple variations in a single instruction book. But the SD40-2 is a larger mod- el and more complex than previous Premium Instruc- tions and covering all variations and paint schemes in a single book would be impractical. So we are breaking the SD40-2 up into a series based on the railroad paint schemes we plan to offer.
The advantage of this is that we can offer a better build- ing experience with parts list specific to each paint scheme. Each instruction book will be tailored to a specific railroad with details explicit to that road high- lighted on each model.
Our Premium Instructions Kit contains the following:
1 professionally printed 102 page instruction book with full color instructions, part list for each of the build variations, prototype information, and building tips.
1 set of black roller bearing tiles (12 tiles per kit)
2 black Brickarms Monopods used for detailing
4 black Brickarms U-Clips used for detailing.
8 Upgraded Traction Bands
