These four-axle, high horsepower engines are still in service today in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperating ditch lights where appropriate per road name\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRealistic die-cast underframe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard cab or gull wing cab as per the prototype (HO DASH 8-40BW\/8-32BHW only)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirectional lighting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFactory-equipped with AccuMate® knuckle couplers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted crew figures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparately-installed scale windshield wipers, metal grab irons and fine scale handrails\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighly detailed coupler cut bars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMultiple unit hoses and trainline hoses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSnowplow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShock absorbers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiping on trucks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDCC Operation FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA total of six DCC function outputs are available\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSound Functionality FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes ”on the fly” are provided for true realism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52034300739904,"sku":"EB-358515168334","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/7645\/8304\/files\/57_4e50e492-73e6-47f5-93d1-55b2c8de706e.jpg?v=1779396994","url":"https:\/\/www.newenglanddukes.com\/zh\/products\/atlas-ho-silver-dc-dcc-ready-dash-8-40b-pan-am-mec-5930-pn-10004299","provider":"New England Dukes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
