HO GP38-2 Locomotive UP #2022 (ATHG71736)

Union Pacific HO-scale GP38-2 Locomotive, UP #2022 — a detailed, ready-to-run diesel model designed to bring authentic late-1970s UP power to HO layouts. The road-number specific unit reproduces UP’s styling with an 1980s repaint, larger hood lettering, and a shield emblem on the cab, along with authentic touches like a newly tooled roof conduit and updated coupler levers. It also features lighted class lights and number boards, a Xenon beacon, and a Leslie 3-chime horn, plus a large fuel tank, pilot lifting lugs, and truck-mounted re-rails for reliable, realistic operation.

Inside, the GP38-2 balances fidelity with dependable performance: a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, all-wheel drive and electrical pickup deliver steady power, while LED lighting and a full cab interior (where applicable) enhance realism. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, with fine Celcon handrails for a true-to-scale silhouette. Sound-equipped variants add an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers, delivering authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds and full DCC functionality, plus CV-based options for MU lashups and performance tuning. The locomotive is designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for the smoothest operation on curves.
