HO EMD GP35 Locomotive DCC-Ready Maroon and Gray (BLI8905)

The HO EMD GP35 model, painted in a distinctive maroon and gray with an early road number, accurately replicates the famed 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive. Originally manufactured in the mid-1960s, these locomotives have a rich history of operation across major railroads in the United States, as well as in Canada and Mexico. The EMD GP35 is powered by a robust EMD 567D3A 16-cylinder engine, delivering 2500 horsepower, which makes it a popular choice for freight services.

This model is DCC-ready, allowing for future enhancements and integration with digital control systems, although it does not come with sound features. Designed with a focus on detail and quality, it features a die-cast chassis for optimal tractive effort, and includes premium painting and prototypically accurate details that reflect the original locomotives.

Each EMD GP35 model is equipped with essential operating mechanisms, including all-wheel electrical pickup and a precision drive mechanism to ensure smooth and reliable performance. Various separately applied details, such as handrails and metal grills, contribute to its authenticity.
