Union Pacific O Scale Premier GP38-2 Diesel Engine With Proto-Soundr 2.0

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 certainly be a stalwart on your railroad, just as it has been on the prototype rails. Equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0, the GP38-2 gives you more performance and value than any other road diesel from other manufacturers. In fact, thanks to the industry-leading Proto-Speed Control system, your GP38-2 can run slower and smoother than anything on your roster. Coupled with the anywhere, anytime action of the remoted Proto-Coupler system, you'll have a switching workhorse of no equal. Did You Know?
