General Motors GP38 Scale Diesel
Powerful Road Switcher for Your 3-Rail O Gauge Railroad

Constructed between January 1966 and December 1971, the GP38 was one of EMD’s most successful diesel-electric road switchers. Featuring many of the same hallmarks found on other EMD road switchers, the type became a firm favorite of many railroads both large and small, thanks to its reliability and standardized design. More than 700 units were delivered to railroads across North America, and most remain in freight service to this day. The Williams by Bachmann GP38 features dual flywheel-equipped motors; die-cast trucks, truck sides, pilots, and chassis details; a durable ABS plastic body; sturdy stamped metal handrails; True Blast® Plus 16-bit polyphonic sound; operating couplers; and dual headlights.

EMD NW-2 Scale Diesel
One of GM's Most Popular Switchers
In 1939, GM’s EMD division introduced two switcher locomotives: the NW-2 and its smaller sibling, the SW-1. The NW-2 was equipped with a 1000-HP twelve-cylinder engine. It was GM’s most popular switcher of all time, with over 1100 units sold. The last unit was manufactured in December 1949. Many railroads and shortlines have rebuilt these units due to their flexibility and reliability. Williams by Bachmann has equipped this dependable switcher with our exclusive True Blast® Plus sound package.
