Rapido HO EMD GP38, ESU LokSound DCC Sound, Southern #2797

Rapido Item #: 38516

Rapido Trains is pleased to be adding this versatile locomotive to our line. Along with the usual variations, such as with or without dynamic brakes, oil bath or paper air filters, low short hoods or high short hoods with lighted class lights, truck sideframe variations, control stand location and quantity (some were constructed with two control stands and featured extensions to the cab), as well as many road-specific details (lights, air horns, air conditioners, exhaust stacks and many other details). Our goal is to offer the most detailed GP38 models ever offered, as well as variations that have never before been offered.

LED lighting, cab interiors, and many other previously overlooked details will be included as well – as you would expect from us! The high-quality sound you have come to expect from us will be included, too, of course … or you can order your GP38s without sound ifyou prefer.
