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 if you prefer.

The Rapido Trains HO scale EMD GP38 locomotive features:

  • A variety of low- & high-short hoods
  • Lots o’ dynamic-brake/non-dynamic hatches
  • Several paper air filter options
  • A plethora of battery box door styles
  • Roadname-specific exhaust stacks (and even the unique dynamic brake vent with a stack in it for one road’s units)
  • Incredible underframe detail including traction motor cables, air filters and an absurd number of separately-applied parts
  • Separate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory
  • Operating headlights, rear lights, working white class lights AND ditch lights and beacons (where appropriate)
  • Highly detailed cab interior
  • Appropriate cab or nose headlights
  • Multiple Blomberg truck sideframe options
  • Working inspection lights
  • Different sizes of fuel tanks
  • Rapido’s innovative dead-straight metal side handrails with plastic stanchions
  • Road-specific details for each model
  • Available as DCC-ready or with ESU LokSound V sound equipped from the factory!
  • And much, much more!
