N EMD GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive - Milwaukee Road #355 (BAC61753)

Milwaukee Road GP38-2 diesel locomotive, Milwaukee Road #355, is a detailed model designed for realistic operation on model railroads. It captures the GP38-2’s familiar silhouette with a standard body and cab design, a configuration that proved widely successful on railroads and remains a common sight on layouts today.

Built for authentic performance, the model features a die-cast frame and precision motor with flywheel drive for smooth pulling and steady speed, plus all-wheel drive for reliable operation. Painted details and precision graphics, blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours, and magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers at both ends add to the realism. An NMRA NEXT-18 socket is provided to install a decoder, and there are roadname-specific dynamic-brake and non-dynamic-brake variants. Fine-scale handrails, horns, and clear window glass, along with detailed trucks and see-through sideframes, contribute to the lifelike appearance. It runs best on 11.25-inch radius curves or larger, making it a standout centerpiece for authentic freight or mixed-traffic operations.
