It packed a punch with 2,000 hp, low or high short hoods and paved the way for future “GP” models to follow. 706 of these four-axle beasts were manufactured at EMD’s La Grange Plant, at the heart of railroad world. During the 1970s, 80s and 90s, the GP38 was common power on road freights, locals and yard jobs. If you traveled to Chicago, you were bound to see a GP38 operating for any of the usual class one roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the 706 built, a good portion of the GP38s were rebuilt to either -2 or -3 standards. The -3 upgrades brought updated electrical systems and the addition of a computer microprocessor (Quantum, Woodward or EMD’s EM2000 computer system). Many of the GP38 locomotives continue to roll off the miles for class ones, regionals or short line railroads. There are even a handful of GP38s operating at tourist and museum lines!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePRSL “dual control stand” cab — A first in plastic!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed cab interior featuring three different control stand variations (box, double and rebuilt single stands)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad-specific details for each model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapido’s innovative dead straight metal side handrails with plastic stanchions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredible underframe detail including traction motor cables, air filters and a silly number of separately applied parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate metal grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating headlights, rear lights, white class lights, ditch lights and beacons (where appropriate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect fuel tank sizes per road number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied wire grabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through, etched steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow featuring Cannon and Company licensed fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple dynamic-brake hatches and air filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC\/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC\/DCC\/ESU LokSound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: All renders and preliminary artwork are subject to revisions before production.
