We are pleased to announce an exclusive Ho Scale GP38 produced by Rapido Trains. In celebration of the bread and butter short lines, we are producing prototypically correct GP38’s in 3 road numbers that were in service from the early 1990’s until 2007. The railway chosen is the Aberdeen, Carolina and Western “The Carolina Route” -ACWR. This is a very important NS-CSX interconnect short line supporting industries in North Carolina.

In addition to all the great features of Rapido locomotives the addition of user installable working ditch lights (instructions included) for a very unusual front pilot mounting. These lights come with wiring to the motherboard. This locomotive is full DCC/Sound.

Features:

• Measured from a living GP38

• Road-specific details for each model

• Rapido’s innovative dead straight metal side handrails with plastic stanchions

• Incredible underframe detail including traction motor cables, air filters and a silly number of separately applied parts

• Road-specific battery box doors

• Separate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory

• Operating headlights, rear lights, tri-colour class lights, ditch lights and beacons (where appropriate).
