GP 38-2, some assembly required


 

We found this treasure in a box donated to the MRIM.? It contains the brass components to assemble two plus GP-38-2's from the Overland project.? Etchings, castings, gearboxes for three locomotives.? Only two cabs, no motors but this will make a great project to end up with some rare S Scale pieces.? I didn't see a price on this item yet so a good bid might have it winging your way.

The sides look like SD40-2 parts, not GP38-2.

We assumed GP because there were sideframes and geared wheelsets for 4-wheel Blomberg trucks in the box. So let's call them emd sides.

Well, a GP35 is 56'2" coupler to coupler.? A GP38-2 is 59'2" coupler to coupler.
