Introduced in 1972 as an update to the GP38, this second generation EMD diesel went on to become the most successful diesel of this generation and numerous units remain in service today. While numbers dwindle with Class I roads, these dependable workhorses have gone on to second, third and even fourth owners in some cases. There are few applications and few types of cargo that have not been hauled by the venerable GP38-2. With units being rebuilt all the time, examples of this fine locomotive will remain in service for years to come.

Features:

• Fully assembled and ready to operate 
• Factory installed grab irons
  
• Magnetically operated knuckle couplers
  
• Exquisite painting and printing
  
• Super smooth drive train with hex drive lines

PLEASE NOTE: This is a STANDARD DC unit, DCC conversion requires significant modifications and rewiring of the unit.
