MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS

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. Did You Know? There are many internal differences between the GP38 and the GP38-2, the most important of which is that the -2 made the AC/DC electrical system standard for the engine.
