HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive BN #2325 (ATHG-1806)

This HO scale GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive in BN numbers (#2325) is a faithful reproduction of EMD’s classic mid‑1970s workhorse, designed to bring authentic GP38‑2 operation to an HO layout. The model captures the prototype’s rugged profile and detailing, including a full cab interior, see‑through cab windows, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, operating headlight and number boards, and a 3600‑gallon fuel tank. It’s built for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius, uses body‑mounted scale knuckle couplers, fine Celcon handrails, and RP25 wheel contours for smooth interaction with a wide range of track, while remaining DCC‑ready via Quick Plug 21‑pin NEM connector for decoder installation and advanced control.

Under the hood, a Genesis driveline with a five‑pole motor, precision flywheels, and a multi‑link drivetrain delivers steady, quiet operation and solid pulling power, supported by a heavy die‑cast frame for durability and traction. Realistic details extend to LED lighting, see‑through cab windows, walkways, lift rings, MU hoses, and accurate paint schemes that reflect prototype variations. Road‑number specific variants cover BN, SP, IC, ASAB, CEIX and other deliveries, with era‑appropriate cues such as dynamic brakes, lit number boards, gyralights, and beacon features, plus plow options in select versions for DCC‑equipped models. Sound‑equipped releases add a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound, dual cube speakers, full NMRA‑compatible functions, and CV‑based customization to tailor lashups and performance on a busy layout.
