HO EMD SD38 Locomotive GMTX Primed For Grime #3300 (ATH-1434)

HO-scale EMD SD38 locomotive in GMTX Primed for Grime livery is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model designed to resemble a former NS unit with ownership markings patched out, delivering a convincing in-service look and a ready canvas for adding grime and rust.

Built for HO layouts, it features fine-scale handrails, see-through cab windows, LED headlights and ditch lights, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and a 5-pole motor with precision flywheels for smooth operation. It is DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug and can be ordered in sound-equipped variants powered by Econami Sound by SoundTraxx, delivering full DC or DCC functionality and realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds. The Primed for Grime finish recreates faded base colors to match the prototype and provides an ideal starting point for weathering; RP25-contoured wheels and McHenry scale knuckle couplers ensure reliable operation on popular track brands. The minimum radius is 18 inches with 22 inches recommended for best performance on typical layouts.
