Athearn’s HO GP40-2 locomotive in CP Rail #4617 captures the look of former Milwaukee Road units repainted into CP Rail’s later scheme without the classic multi-mark. This version features chicken wire grilles, a non-dynamic brake hatch, forward and reverse ditch lights, a large EMD front plow, short fuel tank, and a P3 horn for added accuracy.

Built with a highly detailed injection-molded body and factory-installed Celcon handrails, this model is fully assembled and ready to run. It includes illuminated headlights and ditch lights, see-through cab windows, separately applied horns, and authentic paint and lettering. A heavy die-cast frame, 5-pole motor with precision flywheels, and all-wheel drive ensure smooth, quiet, and powerful operation, while nickel-plated machined wheels provide reliable performance on all popular HO track.

This Sound-Ready version comes equipped with a factory-installed speaker and is ready for the 21-pin sound decoder of your choice. With strong pulling power, durable construction, and prototype-specific details, the CP Rail GP40-2 #4617 is a versatile addition to any HO scale layout.
