Product Overview

Finished in the railroad’s bold black and orange paint scheme, this EMD GP40 1A3 represents Milwaukee Road diesel power from the late 1960s through early 1980s with the kind of prototype accuracy serious modelers appreciate. From the open fireman’s side hood door to the illuminated Prime Strato-Lite beacon, large MILW-style snowplow, dynamic brake details, cab features, truck details, and underframe components, this model is built to reward close inspection.

Milwaukee Road GP40

The EMD GP40 was one of the most versatile second-generation four-axle diesel locomotives, offering the horsepower and reliability railroads needed for road freight, local service, and secondary assignments. For the Milwaukee Road, GP40s brought modern EMD power to a railroad known for distinctive paint schemes, rugged operations, and wide-ranging freight service.

This Milwaukee Road #2044 model captures the late 1960s through early 1980s appearance of the prototype with a deep set of railroad-specific details. The black and orange paint scheme, dynamic brake blister, beacon, cab roof mounted electronic bell, MILW-style snowplow, pilot details, and road-specific lighting combine to create a locomotive that feels unmistakably Milwaukee Road.
