HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive CR #8244 (ATHG-1387)

HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive in Conrail livery, number 8244, is a highly detailed HO model built for realistic operation on modern layouts. It combines faithful exterior detailing with modern performance features, including a DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector, full cab interior, see-through cab windows, fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank with gauges, and body-mounted scale knuckles for authentic coupling and smooth operation.

Under the hood it uses a Genesis driveline with a five-pole skew-wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain to deliver smooth, quiet pulling power. The model includes all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for dependable performance on HO tracks, RP25-contoured wheels for compatibility with popular brands, and LED lighting for clear operation. Sound-equipped versions feature an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, with full DCC functionality and NMRA compatibility, while DC operation remains supported. Road-number specific detailing and authentic paint schemes offer versatility across Conrail and other roadnames, and the 18-inch minimum radius ensures this GP38-2 runs well on most hobby layouts.
