HO EMD GP38-2 Locomotive CP Golden Beaver #3116 (ATHG-1385)

HO-scale EMD GP38-2 diesel locomotive in Canadian Pacific's Golden Beaver livery, road number 3116. This highly detailed model is designed for serious HO-layout operation, delivering authentic CP power to the layout. It features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, a full cab interior with see-through windows, fine-scale Celcon handrails, LED lighting, and a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor for smooth, quiet performance. RP25-contoured wheels and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers ensure reliable running, while Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NMRA connector makes digital control straightforward. The finish is accurately painted to match prototype references, and the model is built to negotiate 18-inch radius curves.

Sound-equipped variants include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers, with sound operating in both DC and DCC and full DCC functionality when in DCC mode. CV changes enable precise slow-speed control and MU lashups, with a CV chart included in the box. The CP Golden Beaver edition carries road-number-specific detailing and scale refinements—such as Canadian-style lighting, detailed fuel tanks, see-through cab, and intricate handrails—making it a solid base for weathering to recreate grime and patina appropriate to the era.
