This model is designed with authenticity in mind, showcasing a unique paint scheme that aligns with the prototype's road numbers. Originally built in the mid-1960s, the EMD GP35 locomotives have become a staple in the United States, with over 1,300 units produced that were utilized by nearly every major railroad. The model captures the essence of these freight locomotives, which were powered by robust EMD 567D3A 16-cylinder engines for a powerful 2500 horsepower output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rendition of the GP35 is DCC-ready and comes without sound, making it suitable for enthusiasts who prefer a different sound system or who operate in non-DCC environments.
