We just spoke to Bowser, and were told these models are due to start shipping by March 2021!

Bowser is still accepting pre-orders, so if you missed your chance to place your orders, now is the time!

The EMD SD40-2 locomotive is one of the most versatile and successful locomotives of all time. From 1972 to 1989, nearly 4000 were built for both the North American market and export. Powered by a 16 cylinder 3000 horsepower turbocharged 645 prime mover, these locomotives have a well-deserved reputation for reliability and dependability.

Many Canadian railroads ordered these locomotives. These were built by EMD's Canadian subsidiary, GMD in London, Ontario. While of the same basic design, there were many differences in the Canadian version of the SD40-2 to meet the needs of Canadian railroads. Nearly 700 were built and most remain in service today either with their original owners, or with new owners in both the United States and Canada.

Bowser started from scratch with this model. It is not an altered U.S. EMD SD40-2, but a prototypically accurate Canadian GMD SD40-2 complete with many prototypically correct road specific detail.


Check out this review by jlwii2000 that shows the excellent level of detail, working class lights and impressive sound of these units. Not only are they the only true Canadian GMD SD40-2's, they might also be the best HO Scale SD40-2 to be produced in plastic.
