These four-axle, high horsepower engines are still in service today in North America. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By the early 1990s the North American Cab had begun to replace the \"standard\" cab on regular production GE 4- and 6-axle locomotives. The only order for 4-axle Dash 8-40Bs with this new cab came from Santa Fe, and thus the Dash 8-40BW model was unique to that road. A total of 83 units total were built and many are still in service today for BNSF. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1991 Amtrak, faced with a motive power shortage, turned to GE for an order of 20 Dash 8-32BWH locomotives. This unique model was basically a Dash 8-32B locomotive equipped with a North American Cab and built on the longer Dash 8-40BW frame. Some additional modifications for passenger service were included. A total of 20 units were built and they are still in Amtrak service today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Features:\u003cbr\u003e Operating ditch lights (HO DASH 8-40BW\/8-32BHW only)\u003cbr\u003e Realistic die-cast underframe\u003cbr\u003e Standard cab or gull wing cab as per the prototype (HO DASH 8-40BW\/8-32BHW only)\u003cbr\u003e Five-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds\u003cbr\u003e Directional lighting\u003cbr\u003e Factory-equipped with AccuMate knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e Painted crew figures\u003cbr\u003e Separately-installed scale windshield wipers, metal grab irons and fine scale handrails\u003cbr\u003e Highly detailed coupler cut bars\u003cbr\u003e Multiple unit hoses and trainline hoses\u003cbr\u003e Snowplow\u003cbr\u003e Shock absorbers\u003cbr\u003e Piping on trucks \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e DCC Operation FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Supports all DCC-programming modes\u003cbr\u003e Flexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28\u003cbr\u003e A total of six DCC function outputs are available\u003cbr\u003e Follows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sound Functionality FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Over 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more\u003cbr\u003e There are 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals\u003cbr\u003e Manual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes \"on the fly\" are provided for true realism","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42744922603583,"sku":"ATL-10001832","price":203.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/files\/tba__05779.jpg?v=1765170233","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/atlas-master-line-ho-10001832-gold-series-dash-8-40bw-undecorated-gull-wing-cab","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
