Description

This is MTH 20-2493-3 SOO Line GP38-2 Diesel Engine (Non-Powered). In the late 1960s, EMD responded to a rash of complaints that the GP30 and GP35 were less dependable than their predecessors. They created the GP38 and its variant, the GP38-2. A descendant of the famous EMD F-Series engines, the GP38-2 became as much a staple on the railroads in the 1960s and ’70s as the F units were in the 1940s and ’50s. While the GP38-2’s prime mover provided less horsepower than its contemporaries, its reliability and excellent performance as a general purpose locomotive made it among the best selling of the Geeps. Almost every domestic railroad, large or small, has had its name printed on the side of a GP38.

The GP38-2 will be a stalwart of your railroad, just as it has been on the prototype rails. Let this powerful engine, available in four show you what reliability means.
