EMD GP38-2

The GP38-2 is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive and part of EMD's Dash 2 line, being an upgraded version of the earlier GP38. Most units still remain in service in the modern era due to ease of maintenance and exceptional reliability.The GP38-2 is an extremely successful four-axle locomotive. Compared to its predecessors the GP38 and GP38AC, it carries an updated prime mover and newer electronics allowing to further improve in kinds of maintainability and reliability. Because of the model’s success, it comes as no surprise that the unit can still be widely seen across the continent from shortlines and Regionals to Class 1s. The GP38-2W is a Canadian variant of the GP38-2 and a forerunner of today's wide-nose units, featuring a wide-nose Canadian comfort cab.

Note: I know that there is already a GP38-2 for TPF2, but I started working on this project over a year ago and put in countless hours of work. Have fun with the model!
