Providence & Worcester GP-40-2 #3001 is an MTH Premier model (20-21020-1, MSRP $499.95) with PS3.

EMD GP40-2 locomotives weigh 250,000 pounds, have a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower turbocharged diesel engine, a starting tractive effort of 61,000 pounds, and a maximum speed of 65 miles-per-hour. 1,143 GP40-2s were produced between 1972 and 1986.

The Providence & Worcester Railroad was chartered in Massachusetts and Rhode Island in 1844. It is presently a Class II railroad that operates in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York.

MTH diesel locomotive models with PS3 run very smoothly at low speeds. In the video, #3001 is running conventionally on my 10’-by-5’ layout at 11 scale miles-per-hour.
