HO GP38-2 Locomotive UP #2047 (ATHG71737)

Union Pacific HO GP38-2 Locomotive, road number 2047, is a detailed HO-scale model designed for realistic mainline and switching scenes. It recreates UP's GP38-2 appearance from the 1980s with larger hood lettering, a cab shield, and switcher-style steps, plus authentic roof details such as conduit and coupler levers, lighted class lights and number boards, a Leslie 3-chime horn, Xenon beacon, large fuel tank, firecracker antenna, and truck-mounted re-railers. Road-number specific detailing for 2047 mirrors the late repaint and includes the UP shield on the cab, while features like a DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NEM interface and fine-scale Celcon handrails provide a crisp, scale-accurate look and easy digital setup.

Designed for HO layouts, this GP38-2 delivers smooth, reliable operation with a Genesis driveline, a 5-pole motor, all-wheel drive, and full electrical pickup from all wheels. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame, uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, and includes LED lighting and see-through cab windows with a full interior. The model supports both DC and DCC, with options for onboard Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers in sound-equipped variants; CVs offer fine-tuning, and a CV chart is included. Minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for best performance, making it a convincing centerpiece for freight trains or yard work on a typical HO layout.
