ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Rapido HO Scale EMD GP40 Diesel Locomotive 2-Pack, Part #40560, Western Pacific Railroad #1776 and #1976, Bicentennial Scheme, Limited Edition Set #45 of 200, DCC and LokSound equipped, in NEW CONDITION.
In March of 1976, Western Pacific chose GP40 number 3540 to repaint into the special red, white and blue scheme. This would become the 1776, featuring the "Betsy Ross" flag in a slight wave pattern on the cab sides. The 1776 also featured roundels on the long hood walkways. Out of the paint shop, both sides sported the Great Seal of the U.S. Later, WP interchanged these with a Liberty Bell and US Bonds design. You'll get all four roundels with this unit.
June 1976 saw WP 3541 leave the paint booth as the 1976, in a similar scheme. The cab featured the standard 50-star U.S. flag and the Great Seal of the U.S. roundels, mounted on the walkway handrail stanchions.
