Atlas Trainman 10004566 HO Scale EMD GP38-2 Diesel Southern Pacific SP 4810 - DC

The Dash 2 locomotive series, unveiled by EMD in 1972, featured significant changes, such as a solid-state, modular electrical control system and improved engine components designed to increase traction and reduce exhaust emissions.
