Embark on a Hunt for Authenticity with our Epic Construction Set

Breathe steam and history with our meticulously detailed model – a true homage to the American EMD Inc.’s iconic SD40-2 diesel-electric locomotive from 1972.

The set is no lightweight measuring over 60 cm long, it’s supplemented by a diverse platform featuring a functional crane and a transport truck. This intricate playground clocks in at 28.5 cm long and 27 cm high.

Yet, every single one of its 1170 pieces encapsulates more than mere size. Thanks to the product’s ingenious modular design, both cab and cargo containers can be detached. Now, you can enjoy dynamic play scenarios of the crane transferring containers from the locomotive to the truck.
