HO GP38-2 Locomotive MILW #363 (ATHG71742)

This HO-scale Milwaukee Road GP38-2 locomotive, MILW #363, is a detailed, ready-to-run model designed for HO layouts to faithfully reproduce the prototype’s appearance and operation.

Road-number-specific detailing on #363 includes billboard lettering, a dynamic brake hatch, and a beacon, while standard GP38-2 features add operating class lights and number boards. The model combines authentic scale details such as solid front and rear handrails, a 1,700-gallon fuel tank, all-weather cab windows, cab vents, and front and rear snow plows, with a full cab interior, walkways, windshield wipers, lift rings, wire grab irons, sander lines, and Celcon handrails for an exceptionally lifelike look. Electronics options include DCC-ready Quick Plug wiring with a 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped versions feature an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds. The drivetrain uses a heavy die-cast frame for traction and a Genesis-style powertrain for smooth, quiet operation, with RP25 wheel contours and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for easy lashups. It supports DC or DCC operation and is suitable for HO layouts with minimum 18-inch radii and a recommended 22-inch radius.
