HO RTR SD38 Locomotive RBM&N #2000 (ATH88633)

HO RTR SD38 Locomotive RBM&N #2000 (ATH88633)

RBMN HO Scale SD38 Locomotive, road number 2000, is a ready-to-run HO model that faithfully recreates the General Motors Electro-Motive Division’s SD38 diesel-electric locomotive used by RBMN. Designed for HO-scale layouts, this detailed model features forward and reverse ditch lights, a small EMD front plow, and a Sinclair antenna, along with separately applied wire grab irons, see-through cab windows, and fine-scale handrails. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, with smooth all-wheel drive, a 5-pole motor with flywheels, and DCC-ready operation via a 21-pin NEM Quick Plug, plus McHenry scale knuckle couplers for authentic coupling and reliable performance.

Road-number specific options for RBMN include #2000, configured as Ex-CR with an M3 horn, a large fuel tank, and a 2009 repaint featuring the RBMN website logo. A second RBMN road number, #2003, represents Ex-DTI/GTW with a P3 horn, a smaller fuel tank, and a 2003 repaint with the website logo and 20th anniversary logos. Sound-equipped versions add onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx and operate in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functionality on DCC systems, plus features like excellent slow-speed control and MU lashup capability. The model benefits from highly detailed injection-molded bodywork, precise decoration, RP25 wheel contours, and 22-inch minimum-radius compatibility for smooth operation on common HO layouts.
