Product Overview

Class One Model Works brings Burlington Northern GP40 #3018 to HO scale with a deep roster of road-specific details, advanced lighting, and premium locomotive craftsmanship. This EMD GP40 1A3 captures BN’s early 1970s through late 1980s appearance in the railroad’s iconic Cascade Green paint scheme. With its open fireman’s side hood door, high cab-mounted headlight, illuminated Prime Strato-Light, high footboard pilots, road-specific cab and pilot details, and carefully modeled underframe components, this model is built for serious Burlington Northern fans and operators who appreciate prototype-specific accuracy.

Burlington Northern GP40

The EMD GP40 was a versatile four-axle road switcher that delivered dependable horsepower for mainline freight, local service, and yard assignments. For Burlington Northern, GP40s became part of a broad second-generation diesel fleet that helped define the railroad’s early years after the 1970 merger.

This BN release captures the unmistakable look of Cascade Green diesel power, including the lighting, pilot, cab, truck, and dynamic brake details that give these locomotives their specific character. It is an excellent fit for Burlington Northern layouts, early post-merger freight operations, and collectors building a highly detailed BN diesel fleet.

Why We Love This Model

This Burlington Northern GP40 has a great mix of classic BN character and road-number-specific detail. The open fireman’s side hood door, high cab-mounted headlight, Prime Strato-Light, high footboard pilots, chain detail on the handrails, and Hyatt roller bearing journals give this locomotive a distinct identity within the run. We especially like how this version pairs the familiar Cascade Green look with a slightly different lighting arrangement from other BN units, making it a strong choice for modelers building a varied and accurate Burlington Northern roster.
