HO GP38-2 Locomotive NS #5295 (ATHG71727)

HO GP38-2 Locomotive — Norfolk Southern, road number 5295. This HO-scale GP38-2 diesel faithfully recreates a Norfolk Southern unit from the Conrail patch era, preserving period details such as a small front plow and end ditch lights. Fully assembled and ready to run, the model is designed for easy placement on an HO layout and for engaging operating sessions.

Road-number specific features for 5295 include ex-Conrail 8100, mid-phase with chicken-wire grilles, drop steps on both ends, squared paper air-filter box, and a standard two-stack exhaust on Blomberg M trucks. The locomotive also carries the GP38-2 series essentials—operating class lights and number boards, and a Leslie 3-chime horn with forward and rear ditch lights—along with Genesis-level detailing such as a see-through cab, full interior, and scale handrails. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug and a 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped versions add a Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, operable in DC or DCC. Minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended), with RP25 wheels for smooth on-track performance.
