HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive CP 'Golden Beaver' #3071 (ATHG-1384)

HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive in Canadian Pacific’s Golden Beaver livery, road number 3071. This highly detailed model is designed for realistic HO operations, featuring a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, and fine-scale Celcon handrails for an authentic, prototypical look. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with RP25 wheel contours and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers for smooth, reliable running on common HO layouts. DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug‑and‑play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector; sound-equipped variants include Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers and full DCC functionality, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC operation.

Road-number-specific detailing and accurate CP lettering bring the locomotive’s in-service appearance to life, including realistic antennas, exhaust configurations, and a detailed fuel tank. The GP38-2 uses a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, plus LED lighting, all-wheel electrical pickup, and MU hoses for lashups. It is built to run on layouts with as little as 18-inch curves and is suitable for building a credible CP freight roster or pairing with other era-appropriate models for believable, action-filled operations.
