Atlas N 40004837 EMD GP38-2 Phase II, Locomotive South Shore Freight 2002 (DCC & Sound-Equipped)

This detailed Atlas Master Gold N Scale EMD GP38-2 Phase II locomotive is based on the popular road switcher used by a number of railroads. The Dash 2 locomotive series, unveiled by EMD in 1972, featured significant changes, such as a solid-state, modular electrical control system and improved engine components designed to increase traction and reduce exhaust emissions. A reliable work-horse, the GP38-2 remains one of the most successful locomotives ever built. Most are still in service today. This N Scale GP38-2 Phase II replica is based on later-production locomotives and comes equipped with a dual-mode ESU LokSound Select sound and DCC decoder with Full Throttle effects for operation on DCC and DC layouts, and features a scale-speed motor with dual flywheels, directional LED lighting, accurate decoration and AccuMate(R) magnetic knuckle couplers.
