Class One Model Works HO Scale EMD GP40

Rock Island • GP40 • Road Number 379

A premium HO scale Rock Island GP40 packed with road-specific details, advanced lighting, and exceptional prototype accuracy.

Product Overview

Class One Model Works brings the Rock Island GP40 to HO scale with an impressive level of road-specific detail, factory-applied parts, advanced lighting, and prototype-focused accuracy. This Rock Island #379 model captures the distinctive look of late 1960s through late 1970s Rock Island diesel power, including the railroad’s maroon and yellow paint scheme, detailed cab and hood features, and the kind of fine details serious diesel modelers appreciate.

Rock Island GP40 #379

The EMD GP40 was a versatile four-axle road switcher that found a home on railroads across North America. For the Rock Island, GP40s represented modern second-generation diesel power, handling freight assignments across a wide range of territory and service types.

This Rock Island #379 model reflects the railroad’s bold maroon and yellow appearance from the late 1960s through late 1970s, with locomotive-specific details that help distinguish it from more generic GP40 models. From lighting and cab details to truck, pilot, hood, and underframe features, this is a highly specified model built for collectors and operators who value accuracy.
